Christmas, Candy & Crafts



I love crafts when it involves home decor. Check out my easy creations. I don't even think I need to explain how to do these things. Grab a hot glue gun and have fun. Oh, and get a strong hook, your candy cane wreath will be heavy.
Kim's Craft Tip: don't ever bother trying to hot glue red hots to any form. I tried to make mini wreaths with red hots. 4 blisters later I was amazed......I was being so neat but there was no way to keep the gloss of the candy. The glue got on the candy due to the gun or my fingers and it was a mess. Just don't do it. I just saved you hours, I am so kind.

I have seen the gumdrop trees and wreaths made with toothpicks, did you use the glue gun for that craft also?

Kim used hot glue! Though toothpicks make sense and you could eat them Christmas Day if they weren't stale but glue was faster is I assume why she did it that way!
