Turn A Dollar Tree Trifle Bowl Into A Valentine's Day Candy Display With A DIY

Candy is the answer to many Valentine's Day conundrums. What should you get your sweetie? Chocolates, of course! Lamenting not having a sweetie? Chocolates (or other candy) can provide a quick pick-me-up, if only a temporary one. Sweet motifs are well-known symbols of V-Day, too. Dollar Tree's pink Caterer's Corner Trifle Container is a shoo-in as the foundation for a candy-based Valentine's Day craft, as demonstrated in a TikTok video from creator @sara.and.ramal. Once you stock this bowl with treats and deck it out with faux flowers, ribbons, and bows, this cheap and easy decor piece will look as delicious as the candy inside it. You can put this together for a one-time treat delivery or tweak it into a festive serving dish to keep the candy coming.

For a Ferrero Rocher-specific version of this adorable Valentine's Day decor DIY, head to Dollar Tree for the aforementioned trifle bowl, a spool of thick seasonal ribbon, artificial roses (three large blossoms or up to six smaller tea roses), a Green Foam Pot Insert, and two six-piece packs of Ferrero Rocher Hazelnut Chocolates. The project calls for nine chocolates, so save the remaining three for yourself — you deserve them. As for tools, set aside some scissors, wire cutters, and a hot glue gun.

To create your Valentine's Day candy display, coat one side of the pot insert with hot glue, then press it firmly in the center of the trifle container. Snip off all but about 1 to 1½ inches of each flower's stem and sink their stubs into the center of the foam insert so the flowers appear in a cluster. The candies will fill the space between the floral center and the inner edge of the trifle bowl. You can add optional dots of hot glue to hold their paper wrappers to both the side of the container and the pot insert.

Next, cut a length of ribbon that matches the bowl's circumference and glue it around the container at its midpoint. Tie another length of ribbon into a bow and glue it over the spot where the first ribbon's ends meet. Your Dollar Tree Valentine's Day DIY is ready as-is, but there is a fun, reusable variation for other kinds of candy that mostly calls for the same materials.

To make a serving container that's also a sweet Valentine's Day centerpiece, trace and cut out a circle from a disposable plastic plate and glue it on top of the foam pot insert inside the trifle container. The plate cutout will serve as a platform for treats of many sizes, especially if you limit the size of the floral accent. Remove the stems from one to three flowers and glue their bases to the center of the plate. Then, simply cover the plate's surface with candy hearts, suckers, and foil-wrapped chocolates for a delightful Valentine's display.
