I made candy wreaths last year for gifts for my children's classrooms. They were easy and fun to make in the evenings when watching TV. I used the metal rings that craft stores sell for making dream catchers. I tried wire wreath forms first but the single circle of the dream catcher ring worked best. I used Brach's Star Brite peppermints wrapped with two twisty ends. You need candy with twisty ends to tie. I then used red curling ribbon to tie the candies to the ring making sure to curl the ribbon. When it was well covered with candy I attached dollar store safety scissors with a long red ribbon and made a red ribbon hanger at the top. I used real ribbon for the hanger because it supports more weight than the curling ribbon. If you search candy wreaths on youtube there are some videos.

I have never made a wreath, but last year I used low temp hot glue to glue Hershey Kisses to a foam cone shape to make a tree. Very pretty when it's done and a good edible decoration for a buffet table!

That's a great idea! I am going to make some grapevine Christmas front door wreaths next week. I think a few candy canes tucked into the greenery would look on them.

Sorry it took me so long to reply. Yes, you tie the curling ribbon to one of the twisty ends.
