  4. It’s time to pipe on your frosting. Take spray foam & slowly pipe it on like frosting. A zigzag design looks good
  5. Once your spray foam is dry you can spray paint the “frosting” white
  6. To make the peppermints -you need to take your insulation foam board & cut it into a round.

  9. To make the gumdrops -take deli cups & spray paint them all kinds of fun colors of your choice
  10. While the deli cups are still sticky from the spray paint you can sprinkle glitter on top for a sugary finish
  11. Once everything is dry all you need to do it hot glue the candies onto the piping boards
  12. Then to hang use mounting tape & place the piping pieces where needed
  13. Ta-da!
