M&M's Wreath

Supplies:
* 16-inch floral foam wreath
* Red and green spray paint
* 2 yards of red ribbon
* 5-pound bag of holiday M&M's
* 3 jingle bells
* Cardboard
* Scissors
* Low-temperature glue gun
* 36-gauge wire and wire cutters
Directions: Spray-paint the wreath red and line with red ribbon around the front with glue gun. Beginning with the inner area of the wreath, add rows of the candies until the entire area is covered. Add another layer on top in a "pyramid" fashion. Next, cover the outside area of the wreath using the same procedure, followed by the front.
To make the leaves, use the pattern from Rosie magazine or draw your own leaves on cardboard and cut out. Spray-paint them green and line with the green candies. Glue a small piece of cardboard on the backside of the leaves for extra support. Attach the leaves to the top of the wreath. As a finishing touch, thread the jingle bells through a piece of wire, fold the wire and twist it off. Glue to center of leaves. Variation (shown in photo): Use silk greenery in place of green M&M's.
Tip: For more detailed directions, please refer to the magazine.
