Step 5: Adding the braille message

I have included a full braille alphabet for you to use in designing your own personal messages. Can you tell what my candy says? (see picture caption below for answer)  What I did was I used A blow torch and heated a pice of metal and gently poked holes into the material.

Now here are a few suggestions concerning your actual message:

1. you don't have to make a whole braille message you could make the shape of a heart, a lung even a kidney(ha ha). Whatever floats your boat

2. You could make only letters. If you are trying to teach a child braille

The list is endless. Be creative!

I'm not entirely clear on how you added the braille - are you saying you poked holes into the candy, rather than having a raised message?
