Baby Shower Pacifiers





2 (13 ounce) bags of white individually wrapped Lifesavers candies (wintergreen, peppermint, your choice)
2 dozen jelly belly jelly beans, about 1/2 c, colors will vary, depending on whether you know the sex of the baby
6 ounces tube white cake icing, not the gel, that doesn't dry completely, with a thin attachment for application
24 lengths of thin curling ribbon can coordinate with your jellybean colors if you'd like, length to your liking, long enough to fit (approx. 24")
Directions:
First, un-wrap all the Lifesavers.
Take one Lifesaver and apply a thin layer of frosting around the inner hole.
Grab a jellybean and place one of the short, round ends in it, so the length of the jellybean is coming out of the hole.
Flip the Lifesaver over. On the other side, take the frosting and make a slightly thicker (yet still on the thin side) layer of frosting around the inner hole/center, and place another Lifesaver perpendicular attaching edge of 2nd Lifesaver to center of 1st Lifesaver with jellybean attached to it.
Place on flat surface and allow drying.
After drying for 3-4 hours, thread curling ribbon through the hole of the 2nd Lifesaver and tie in a knot.
Thanks Parrot Head Mama!
