Melt together hot water and sugar. Pour mixture into your mason jars. Once cooled, stir in food coloring. 

STEP 2

Dampen the wooden skewers and roll them in sugar. Tie baker’s twine to to them and set them aside to dry.

STEP 3

Dangle the skewers into the jars, making sure not to touch the jar or other skewers. Carefully put the lid on the jar to hold the strings in place (or cover with plastic wrap).

STEP 4

After 3-10 days, they’re ready to remove from their jars & dry. Let them hang in the jar, tied to straws.
