Candy Wreaths




I spool nylon white thread
3 bags of candy (1 pound each) Your choice of flavor/color
1 8" ring
riboon of your choice

This is an easy but long process. You need to tie each piece of candy to the ring with a basic knot. If you cut a longer piece, tie it off to the ring, then tie a knot at the end of the candy wrapper, you can keep doing it as long as you tie it down close to the ring. If you see it's not making a nice circle just adjust your thread and tie off at another spot and start again.

You will learn as you go that you have to sometimes tug and pull to position them just right.

I add a couple of different colors depending on the season.
I use a ribbon at the top, tie it so that it is a large loop to hang on a door or nail. I like to add a bow either at the top or the base to give it a little extra "fluff"
