| Preserved Haribo sweet engagement ring |
Some people wear the Haribo rings hung from cord as necklaces and others mount them in picture frames as a keepsake for their special day. I wasn’t aware that the use of a Haribo ring as a temporary engagement ring was so common until I started making these but it is! I get requests from people all over the world and even got sent a ring this week from Australia!
Last week I was asked to preserve two Haribo rings within a resin paperweight and this was the result. I was also asked to supply the rings (which I was quite keen to do since I welcome any excuse to buy some Haribos). This proved quite a challenge though since the Haribo rings had to be specific colours. Several bags of Haribo Starmix later (and quite a full tummy), I managed to find the correct coloured rings and here they are.

Yummy! Love the idea of Haribo jewellery. I used to be into a band called Mansun who had a song called 'Egg Shaped Fred' and before one of their gigs I was eating starmix and decided to write 'Fred' on one of the starmix eggs, and string it on my necklace. It got rather sticky!
ReplyDeleteIts a tough job but someone has to do it:) imagine having to eat all that haribo? my husband says he is quite wiling to help if ever you need an assistant.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea's and jewellery.
Thanks Lynda and if I get any more orders like that I will forward some to him! I don't think I could eat another Haribo sweet for quite some time now.
DeleteA customer of mine sent me a bag of sweets recently as a thank you and they were Liquorice Allsorts...they were gone in a couple of minutes! Yum yum!
