I think I'll try a small, multi-colored version with the kiddos.
Tools and Materials:
Styrofoam wreath form
Florist's wire
Gumdrops
Toothpicks
Decorative ribbon
Gumdrop Wreath How-To:
1. Wrap enough florist's wire around wreath form to leave a large loop for hanging. Break toothpicks in half. Lay wreath form flat.
2. Begin a short row: Place pointed end of a few toothpick halves into Styrofoam, following the form's curve from inside to outside; push one gumdrop onto broken end of each toothpick. After row is a few inches long, make a parallel row on each side until section is covered. Repeat until wreath is complete. (Note: If you try to complete an entire ring of gumdrops before moving to next row, it will be very difficult to create a uniform pattern.)
3. Suspend wreath from wire hanger, disguised with a wide satin bow.

I love love love all the gumdrop ideas from Martha. I want to make the topiaries but decided not to this year cause I don't want to spend all my energy keeping Gage away from it. Take a picture once you make one.
that looks so cute!`
SO cute, but the dog we are dogsitting would probably try to eat it. He has already made one of Emma's Barbies into an amputee.
