Christmas Wreath Candy Necklace Kids’ Craft

Remember the Halloween Treasure Necklace? Well I and my kids decided to make a similar one, but in Christmas form. Say hello to the Christmas Wreath Candy Necklace.  I originally shared this idea on Design Dazzle.  It’s a perfect craft to get your kids involved with to help channel their excitement in a constructive way.  They’ll jump at the opportunity, especially since they can snack as they make it. 🙂
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)

 

 Cut down the entire length of your cellophane, making it about 5″ 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.

 

Tie the wider ribbon in a bow on the center front to complete the look of the wreath.
All done!  It’s a fun and festive Christmas wreath that can be worn as a necklace, but probably the best part about this craft is that it’s yummy too!

    I remember making something similar with Hershey kisses when I was in middle school. Such a fun festive idea. Thanks for reminding me of this fun activity!
