What's better than a super fun and easy craft project on Friday? We're in the Easter spirit around here and decided to do some decorating today. Mostly Ben just wanted to eat the chocolate. OK, so did I.
So if you're inclined to make such a wreath. This is what you'll need.
1. 2lbs of chocolate (I bought 1.5 and had to go back to the store for more. boo.)

2. A helper.

3. A glue gun! I was a glue gun virgin until today. I LOVE it. My new favorite crafting toy. Photo by ben, of course.
4. A 12" metal wreath and some festive ribbon. I put the ribbon on before the candy.

I started with the inside circle. It helps if you have an OCD 4 year old "grouping" and "organizing" the colors. Although random really looks best, IMO. On a sidenote, I had a hard time photographing these candies. The reflection from the wrappers and the black counter top = not a good photo. If I were one of those crafty bloggers I would know how to handle this kind of thing better.
Finish the inside circle and the outside circle.
Then fill in the middle. I started to get the hang of the glue gun by this point. I'm still trying to decide if we can eat this candy after Easter or if the glue will seep through the wrappers.... opinions?
Some for me....and some for me....
