This wreath comes together in a snap--just follow the instructions below.
Mary Lyon utilizes leftover candy to create this unique holiday wreath.

Materials:

wire hanger
ribbon or yarn (pipe cleaners and twist-ties also work)
scissors
individual wrapped candies (such as peppermints, fruit drops, chocolates, etc.)

Steps:

Take a plain wire hanger and shape it until it is circular, resembling a wreath. Leave the hook intact in order to hang the wreath. Tie ribbon around candy on one end and attach to hanger with loose ends. Continue until wreath is colorful and complete.

Attaching scissors to the wreath with yarn is a great gift idea. Now the recipient can snip off a candy whenever he or she wants.
