My sister's birthday is the first day of October. I had a great idea to make her a gift this year, with help from the munchkins. Emily (whom I don't trust AT ALL around candy) was deemed the photographer - thus the stellar pictures! I covered two wreaths with black duct tape, and then we were ready to work together!
Ben and Annie each had a wreath (two different shapes because I didn't know what would work better). I had the glue gun. I put down glue; they put on the candy corn. Very fun!!! I was surprised that neither of them got bored and wanted to leave the activity, even after we'd been doing it for 30 minutes! It actually required a bit of concentration as they had to turn the candy corn different directions in each loop.
Super cute and very fun. However, I never made it to the post office. And then I left one down that my little candy-
snitcher picked at (and ate - yuck!). Then the other wreath didn't fit into the padded envelope I bought. So - Aunt Jamie, enjoy the pictures; we'll figure something different out for your birthday. BUT - this totally would have been on time had I had a bigger box and driven those few precious minutes to the post office. At least we think of you each time we see the wreath hanging on the back door (as my reminder to send this silly package to you!)!!!

love these!
The wreaths are super-duper cute, and I'm glad there was so much fun in making (and eating) them...that's gift enough for me!!!
The wreaths are adorable!! So are the kids. It looks like you had a really good time.
Note to mom: I would appreciate a up-close and personal picture of the wreath. :P Second - what kind of wreath did you get and where...please.
Great idea! Those look so cool!
