Winter Wonderland Sandwich Bag
Wreath:
Put your elves to work on a wreath with a magical snow-and-ice
look. Made of plastic bags tied onto a hanger, it's a perfect
outdoor decoration.
Materials:
White wire clothes hanger
Wire cutters
Needle-nose pliers
About 100 plastic sandwich bags (the fold-over, not ziplock,
kind)
Bow
Directions:
Form the hanger into a circle, keeping the hook at the top.
Using wire cutters, cut the hanger at the bottom center and wrap
the ends around each other to form a circle with a 9-inch
diameter. Use needle-nose pliers if necessary. Bend the hook
down to form a loop for hanging the wreath.
Fold a plastic bag in half lengthwise and tie it around the
hanger with a single overhand knot. Repeat, pushing the bags
together until the circle is full. Add a bow.
Hard Candy Wreath:
A yummy looking wreath that's easy to make.
Supplies:
1 coat hanger
Approximately 30 pieces of assorted, wrapped hard candies, suckers, etc.
Approximately 30 pieces of colorful curling ribbon, cut into 8" pieces
Wire cutters
Pliers to bend the hanger
Masking tape
A dull pair of scissors to curl the ribbon
Directions:
Unbend the hanger and cut it in half (this will be enough for 2 kids).
Bend the 1/2 hanger into a circle leaving about 4" at the top to make a
hook. Twist the end to make it look like a circle with a hook on it.
Cut your curling ribbon into 8" pieces.
Fold your ribbon in half. In the middle of that ribbon tie one piece of
candy. Tie it on the end of the candy where the paper twists.
Now tie the candy with 2 knots tightly on to the hanger. Tie the candy
right next to the wire to help cover it up. Use the scissors to curl the
ribbon on each end. Repeat the process for all your candy pieces.
