Holiday Candy Wreath

Wreath made of individually twisted end wrapped candies.

Approximate Time: Several hours depending on size and fullness.

Supplies:

• wire ring* (I used a 7 inch)
• curling ribbon
• bow
• individually wrapped candy with twisted ends (I used approx. 6 lbs.)
• 6 inches of wire to make loop for hanging
• children's scissors (optional)

*If you can't find a pre-made ring, you can use a wire coat hanger. Cut with a wire cutter and form into a ring.

Instructions:

 
1. Cut pieces of curling ribbon approximately 8 inches each.

2. Tie a piece of curling ribbon to each piece of candy with one knot.
    

3. Tie pieces of candy to wire ring with 2 knots.

4. As the space on the ring fills up, push candies together. (The amount of candy you use will depend on how tight you push the candies together.)
