Starting with a set of thrifted green ornaments that I picked up for a couple of dollars, I spray painted them in a chocolate brown.  You can always just purchase brown ornaments if you want to skip this step, but I like to recycle 😉  And though I stuck to chocolate, you could also switch up your cake paint as well.

After that it was as simple as gluing a cupcake liner to the bottom, adding a dollop of light weight spackle to the top, and sticking on a faux cherry!

Here is a post where I detail how to use the spackle and here is where I find my faux cherries.

If you want to color your spackle, just mix in a bit of paint before applying.  Careful though, too much will thin out the consistency of the spackle and make it unable to keep it's shape.
