Supplies

• Hot Glue Gun
• Glue Sticks (you can get both glue gun and glue sticks from Glue Guns Direct shop)
• Styrofoam Wreath Form (I got the small one from the Dollar Tree)
• 30 feet of ribbon (I got 4 spools of 3yds each at the Dollar Tree)
• Plastic Easter Eggs (I got a package of 18 at the Dollar Tree)

Since I already owned my glue gun and glue sticks this craft cost me $6.00=tax to make!

Directions

1. Heat up the glue gun.
2. Remove the ribbon from the spool (I found it easier to work with this way).
3. Add a dot of glue on the inside of the wreath form and adhere the end of the ribbon.
4. Wrap the ribbon tightly around the form adding a drop of glue on the inside every 3-4 wraps.
   

   Wrap the wreath form with ribbon.

5. When you run out of ribbon, add a dot of glue and overlap the new ribbon with the old and continue until the wreath is completely covered.
6. Cut about a 2′ piece of ribbon and fold it in half. Wrap the ribbon around the wreath and slip the ends through, tie the loose ends together for hanging.
   

   Create a ribbon loop for hanging.

7. Place a thick line of glue about 5″ long on the wreath and start adding eggs. make sure the narrow end is pointing into the middle.
   

   Hot glue the eggs in place.

8. Continue this process until the wreath is completed.
9. Allow the glue to dry completely before hanging.

As you can see it is a pretty easy craft that took me about an hour to make. I love the way it looks on my door and my neighbor commented on it seconds after I put it up!

The other day I gave Jordan, my 14yo, the wrappers and the craft directions and I asked him to make a Valentine decoration. He did a great job!

Supplies:

• Assorted packs of Wrigley’s stick gum in the slim pack with foil wrappers (5 Flare, Cobalt and Rain)
• Glue
• Scissors
• Small Craft Paintbrush
• 6″ piece of ribbon to hang decoration

Instructions:

1. Glue the 6″ piece of ribbon to the inside of the gum box, let dry completely.
2. Choose the color you prefer and cover the outside of your empty gum box with foil wrappers, gluing well at seams. You may wish to cut serrated edge from foil before using. Completely cover the box and then let dry.
3. While the box is drying use a different color foil wrapper to create a decoration for your project. Glue the decoration to the box.
4. Once dry, you may hang the decoration up to add cheer to any room.
