Candy Pattern Wreath
1 of 6
Starting with a decorative ceiling medallion, such as a lightweight Fypon medallion, available at most hardware stores. Cut the orange and black licorice candies to equal sizes and then attach to the medallion using a hot glue gun. Create your own pattern for the holidays. The rope-like twisted effect of the candy makes this project resemble a big, elegant lollipop when completed. You can also try creating a pattern using candy corn, or other treats. When creating wreaths with food items, give the finished wreath a coating of clear polymer spray to protect the items on the wreath for long-term use.
Creepy Peeper Wreath

Purchase a grapevine wreath at a craft store and a bag of candy eyeballs (typically chocolate wrapped in tinfoil). Stick pieces of wire through the back of each wrapped candy and then twist the wire to various points on the wreath. The finished product will resemble a mass of creepy eyes staring out at your guests. This one's especially fun if you won't be home and plan to leave a bowl of candy for trick-or-treaters. Be sure to add a note that reads, "Only take one. We're watching you!"
