How Do You Make a Retirement Candy Poster?

Retirement candy posters are so simple to put together! All you need to grab are a posterboard, a marker and glue, and your candy. Start with your first phrase (see below for some retirement candy poster ideas) and glue your candy in where it goes. Keep adding your phrases until your posterboard is full, and you’re done!

How Do You Stick Candy to the Posterboard?

You can use a bunch of different types of glue for a Candy Poster. You just want to make sure it’s really sticky, because the candy can be heavy. Some glues that work really well are hot glue and a tacky craft glue like Alene’s. With hot glue, just be sure to let it cool a little before you squish it down so you don’t melt your candy.
