Candy Wreath Tutorial

[@judycharl1173]

My mom made these back in the 60’s and 70’s! We loved them!

[@kathy1013]

My mom used to make these back in the 70’s. She would use different color candies. Even cinnamon and butterscotch. They were so festive. Glad I found your video. Gonna try my first one and think about the good ole days. ❤️🎄🎁

[@DesignbyMelody]

I am so glad!! We used to make these all the time with my mom when we were kids for teacher gifts and such. I just kept making them!! I might make one myself to hang on my pantry door throughout winter. Happy crafting!!

[@nancylugdon9621]

I absolutely want to try it. Melody’s video on is the best . I wanted to make one since I was a little kid . This video Invoked wonderful memories of Christmas as a child at my grandmas . She’d let me have one piece if I ate all my dinner . lol 😂

[@colinhalliley111]

So lovely and sweet . Been looking for this decorating video.

[@cesara1]

Loved it. Great video... thanks for sharing..

[@debbiecooper1677]

This would be great for my kids teachers for Christmas .... thanks for the post .... I just love it

[@DesignbyMelody]

It's great for teacher gifts! Have fun making them!

[@misterhot9163]

If I were a teacher I'd rather have the cash 💰 but that's just me!! Good tutorial a lot easier than Martha's 👍

[@gayledaniel4630]

Really good instructions! Going to make one for my mom in the nursing home♥️

[@DesignbyMelody]

Thank you Gayle!!! It is fun to make as well! I hope she enjoys it too!

[@bekaroo69]

Use an old metal coat hanger as the wire if you have them. Most of us have heaps laying around & they work perfectly. Great Video

[@DesignbyMelody]

+bekaroo69 Yep! Definitely a great substitute! Thanks for watching!

[@jerrilynernsting903]

I love making lollipop trees w strofoam ree shapes a suckers

[@DesignbyMelody]

That is a great idea!! Thank you for sharing!

[@mariao5871]

I love this idea🤗😁 I can't wait to try this with my students😊

[@DesignbyMelody]

It's such a fun project! Have fun!

[@elizabethshaw734]

I saw a gorgeous wreath for the Autumn made of butterscotch gold along with orange and dark brown and normally I hate those colors. But the wreath was gorgeous and I'm going to start now for Autumn and Christmas.

[@DesignbyMelody]

Ohh that would look beautiful!

[@jb9218]

Thank you for sharing! Do you think if I use a larger embroidery hoop I could tie the ribbon around three candies at a time to save time?

[@rosefelice3332]

very good idea! ❤👍

[@DesignbyMelody]

Thank you!!

[@judycharl1173]

My mom also tied one on like she shows but before tying the second knot, she added another candy.

[@katiemackay1934]

This is such a great idea. What diameter are your wire hoops? I would love to try and make these but don't want to buy wire rings that are too big

[@carolynjordan4633]

we yes to make these out of coat hanger.wired ones

[@debcollette7087]

I made this wreath and used a wire coat hanger, I cut the hook off and then joined it by bending the ends and then putting them together. However,, I was so, so, sad after all that work when I held it up, it was to heavy for the wire hanger, oh, it held, but, it droops. so disappointed.

[@hazelb38]

What is the diameter of the wire ring?

[@treacherouswendy8131]

would floral tape work ok? it would save some time...then add the curly ribbon as accents!

[@DesignbyMelody]

It could potentially work... if you use it, let me know how it turns out! I'd love to know!

[@sharonchance739]

Where did you get the rings from?

[@DesignbyMelody]

Thanks for watching Sharon! My dad actually made the rings for me from coated wire and a clamp from the hardware store. But a good substitute would be small embroidery hoops from the craft store. I hope that helps!

[@DesignbyMelody]

amfree2dance thank you for watching!!

[@susanaaron4031]

can you do this with Hershey kisses? just wondering since the kisses don't have a wrapper like with hard candy.

[@DesignbyMelody]

+susan aaron Thanks for watching Susan! I've never tried Hershey Kisses, but I'm sure you could... you just would either have to tie them on around the Hershey tag part. Or you could use a foam wreath form and glue the kisses on by the flat round part directly to the foam wreath. I'd probably wrap the wreath form in something first like red or green crepe paper to cover the white styrofoam. I hope that helps!!

[@carolalexander6085]

Where to buy the ring and whats it called

[@DesignbyMelody]

Hi Carol! I just bought some coated wire from the hardware store and made the ring myself!

[@martinosharon]

How is the wire ring made? Great video. Have a nice day and God bless.🎄

[@DesignbyMelody]

+Sharon Martino Thank you! The wire ring was actually made by my dad - I think he used a coated wire and a clamp to bend the wire. However, an easier thing to use as a ring is an embroidery hoop - they come in a variety of sizes at a craft store or even Walmart. I hope that helps!!

[@martinosharon]

+DesignbyMelody thanks can't wait to make one✌🏻️

[@DesignbyMelody]

Sharon Martino Have fun with it! I'm about to start making some for this year - they are great teacher gifts! And they are so easy to make - just grab a bag of candy, some ribbon, and find a good movie on TV. Enjoy! Thanks again for watching and commenting!

[@laurapotter7176]

I make them like you do . the people complain that they had to jurk on the candy to get it.

[@DesignbyMelody]

Hi Laura! They won’t be taking the candies off, they will be untwisting the end, taking the candy off, and leaving the wrapper on the wreath to keep it full as a decor item! As long as you used wrappers that are twisted at the ends then they don’t need to jerk or yank the candy at all!

[@kathycombs1901]

WHAT IS THE RING?

[@DesignbyMelody]

Thank you for checking out my video!! I just used some coated wire from the hardware store and formed it into a circle.

[@lindaborg6943]

How many peppermint candies would I need to do this?

[@DesignbyMelody]

Hi Linda! It just really depends on how tightly you push all the candies up next to each other. I prefer it to be pretty full so I use a lot!

[@ajitaagarwal9019]

Wowwe

[@jacquelinerhaney842]

Oh well

[@melbaperez554]

The best stil you can eat them some people they glue candy is a waste i will ad kid sissor for people cut and eat special coworked in office

[@GrampiesCorner]

No offense but Martha Stewart's way is a little easier and quicker.

[@DesignbyMelody]

Hi Joseph! I've never even seen her way... I'll have to check it out! We've been making them this way I shared with you since I was a kid making them for my teachers! It's easy and kid-friendly!
