Christmas Wreath Candy Necklace Kids’ Craft

This cellophane necklace may be one of the simplest things you and your kids will ever make, and requires only a few, inexpensive supplies.

{SUPPLIES}
1 roll of cellophane wrap
1 bag White Chocolate Peppermint M&M’s (we’ll just use the red ones)
1 bag Mint (M&M’s) or any other green candies of your choice
Scissors
Red decorative ribbon (1 thin and 1 wide)

This was plenty long enough to fit my six-year-old, but you may need to lengthen it for older children.

Line your green candies down the edge of the cellophane, leaving about 1″ in between each.  There should be enough room for 8-9 pouches.

Add at least one red candy to each set to look like holly berries.

Cut about 10 strips of ribbon about 5 1/2″ long.
Cut one longer strip of a wider red ribbon that will be your front bow on the wreath.

Roll the cellophane to cover the candies and beginning tying in between each section of candies, starting at the very top.

Now you can either put it on the child first and then tie….

….or tie it first and slip it over the child’s head if they’re small enough.
