Christmas will be here before you know it! Make a couple of these wreaths to hang or give as gifts. You can use any type of candy as long as it is wrapped. Tootsie Rolls are cute, too. Ingredients:
***makes two wreaths |
1 wire coat hanger |
30 pieces of assorted wrapped hard candies, suckers, or tootsie rolls |
30 pieces of colorful curling ribbon, cut into 8 pieces |
wire cutters |
pliers to bend the hanger |
masking tape |
a dull pair of scissors to curl the ribbon |
a big bow for the top of the wreath (optional) |
Directions:
1. Unbend the hanger and cut it in half.
2. Bend the half-hanger into a circle and leave about 4 at the top to make a hook.
3. Twist the end to make it look like a circle with a hook on it.
4. Cut your curling ribbon into 8 pieces.
5. Fold your ribbon in half.
6. In the middle of that ribbon tie one piece of candy.
7. Tie it on the end part of the candy where the paper twists.
8. Now tie the candy with 2 knots tightly on to the hanger. Tie the candy right next to the wire to help cover it up.
9. Use the scissors to curl the ribbon on each end.
10. Repeat the process for all your candy pieces.
11. Tips:
12. It might take a few more or less than 30 pieces of candy depending on the size of each.
13. Suckers should be tied close to the head.
14. You may add a ribbon on the top to cover the hook if you want.
15. I also tie on a pair of scissors so people can eat the candy when they visit.
