I am always trying new crafts, and if they are in-expensive, even better! I saw something like this wreath at a friends house, and really wanted to replicate!
What you will need:
2 or more small helpers
1 glue-gun with plenty of glue sticks
1 bag green/white mints
1 bag red/white mints
1 foam circle
clear duct tape
Ribbon
First, ask your kind little helpers to unwrap all the mints for you, its a time consuming job, but they are easily bribed with said mints. While they are doing this- wrap tape all around your foam circle- it will make this much more enjoyable and tidy.
Pick a starting point- this will be the top of the wreath, where you will leave a "channel" for the ribbon. Alternate mint colors per your liking, and glue and place! Easy.
When the glue is dry,wrap a ribbon through the channel you created, or over it- and glue the ribbon in place.
Done!
The kiddos decided they wanted to give it to their class room at school, so we brought it in the next day, and it is now proudly displayed- teasing children- at the kids school.
We hit the dollar store for this project, and the foam circle was $1, the candy bags were $1 each, and I already had the glue and tape at home, so it was a $3 project for me!!
