A couple years ago, I saw this idea for making a Candy Wreath from left over Halloween candy, and have wanted to make one ever since. Now that Halloween is over and bags of candy are on sale, it’s the time to stock up and give it a try. 

Here’s a 5 minute video from Jill Cooper at LivingonaDime.com that walks you through how to make one of a candy wreath either by yourself or with your kids. 

Personally, this looks a great opportunity to sit down at the table, start working on it, and let the kids come drift in and out to help, and just sit and talk at the same time. Maybe we’ll put on a pot of hot cocoa…

Enjoy!
