Wreath for all seasons:Made by twisting vines (from the garden) into a circle and securing it with wire. This attractive wreath will look great from Halloween time to Thanksgiving. |
Candy wreath:This wreath might be too tempting to remain intact for long. You'll need 2 pounds of hard candy, an 8-foot length of embroidery thread, and a round wire wreath form 8 inches in diameter. First, tie the thread to the form, leaving two ends of equal length. Hold the form between your knees, and make a loose knot on the outside of the form; place ends of 3 candy wrappers through loop; tighten the knot. Tie another knot to the form, tie 3 candies to the inside of the wreath form, repeat until wreath is full and hang it from a ribbon. |
