Expert Tips

• Card Stock. Some of these require card stock. You can certainly use regular paper, but they won’t be as sturdy. There is a huge selection of card stock in many colors on Amazon.
• Bulk Candy. And if you need candy, you can buy the huge 5 lb bags of gummy bears and more candy ideas on Amazon. It works out a much better deal than buying the small bags at the store.
