A Tasty Candy Wreath!

Hi Scribblers!

As we wind down toward the holiday weekend, I wanted to leave you with a fun craft to make with your little ones! Try this Tasty Candy Wreath!

The wreath is easy to make, and fairly inexpensive! Once finished, this is sure to be a favorite in the household as guests and your little ones can grab a tasty treat!

To make this craft, you will need:
- 3 14oz bags of wrapped candy (peppermints, strawberry suckers, butterscotch)
- Wire Wreath
-Ribbon
-Scissors
 

To start, cut 8″ pieces of ribbon strips. Tie one twisted end of a piece of candy to the center of the ribbon piece. Then, wrap the 2 remaining ends of the ribbon pieces around the wire wreath and tie in place. (Note: do not cut off extra ribbon length)

Continue to work your way around the wreath tying the candy pieces as close or as far apart as you like. Keep in mind, the closer the candy pieces, the more you will need.

When you have completely covered the wire wreath with candy pieces, you can either leave the ribbon strands straight, or do as I did and curl the ribbon pieces using the flat edge of a scissor. To do this simply hold the ribbon taut between your thumb and the edge of the scissor and pull from the base of the ribbon the end. Viola- a perfect ribbon curl!

Next, make a decorative bow using 2″ ribbon. Hang up, and enjoy!

Candied Autumn Leaves!

Hi Scribblers,

I was flipping through a magazine when I came across this:

M&M's inspired by Fall!

I absolutely loved this! It’s so creative-in fact, this little ad has given me a fall inspired idea that I plan to work on for tomorrow!

Do you like to make Fall crafts? What have you made that looks like leaves? What have you made out of candy pieces? We would love to see the crafts you’ve been working on!
