This is a craft that even the non crafty (like myself) can make. I've been wanting to make this since I saw it online in January. When Kent goes out of town, I tackle projects. This was one of them! It was so easy. It turned out so amazingly cute, I can't wait for Christmas :)
If you want to make it, here is what you will need
*14 or 16 inch Styrofoam wreath. I did a 14 inch. (use a 40% off coupon at Roberts or hobby lobby)
*4 bags (14 oz.) peppermints. I bought great value brand from Walmart for $1.00 each
*30 feet of red ribbon 1.5 inch wide. To wrap around wreath.
*Decorative Ribbon for a bow.
*Hot Glue Gun and Glue Sticks. To glue mints on.
*It took me a little over an hour from start to finish. So easy and so cute!
*I tried to do a brick pattern with the mints, which helps get them closer together.
Happy Gluing!
Hint: Have your children unwrap all the candy, that is the hardest part. Mine were all asleep, and I felt like I would have carpal tunnel by the end :)

Um....this could've been a girls night, Shelley!:-) j/k...we both know if never would've happened:-) I'm totally going to make that though..thank you for the idea!
That is super cute - what happens when the rain/snow hits it?
YOu may not want sleep advice but with Damon being so hard to sleep train I read a lot of books on it. Have you tried just putting him to bed a half-hour or hour earlier? Sometimes that helps them sleep longer. Damon goes to bed at 6:30 every night. Just a thought. Maleah cracks me up. She gives you a run for your money for sure. She's going to grow up and do great things with how smart she is and how stubborn she is. :)
