Did you know that cotton candy was originally called Fairy Floss? Yep. That's right. Did you know that it can make for a really cute garland, too? See for yourself…
Sweet….
Oh yea…
Start out with making a few of these spunky little things. You will need 3 for every cotton candy cone you make. Thread a needle with matching thread and tie a knot on the bottom side of one flower. Pass the needle and thread through the center of the flower from bottom to top.
Continue threading through two more flowers.
Squish them together… but not too much. Inconspicuously (who says crafters aren't smart?) tie a knot on the top and cut away the excess thread.
Cut out a triangular piece of cardstock: 3.5 inch base and 5 inch sides. Roll it up and hot glue in place.
Apply hot glue to the top of the cone. Place the flower tower on top of the cone before the glue dries.
Leave blank or add felt letters and symbols.
Tie the cotton candy cones onto thread and hang.
Just lovely….
The Real Deal: It cost about $0.50 per cotton candy cone.
Go and be pretty,
It's still called Fairy Floss in Australia
So cute – I shared it on my facebook page!

I'm having an "Atlantic City Boardwalk" themed 4th birthday for my little girl. Can't wait to make some of these!! Thanks for the great idea!
This is super cute! I learned that cotton candy in French is barbe à papa, literally it's dad's beard. So funny!
Saw your post over on Craftgawker!
in australia – it still is Fairy Floss.
Cute idea. In England cotton candy is called 'candy floss'
Thanks Kristy! Candy floss sounds so funny.
