I found this idea on The Sparrows Nest and thought it would be perfect for a Corynn craft-and gift. While the original idea was to do candy canes, I found that wreaths worked best for us. The candycanes kept breaking afterward-very frustrating. To do, just form unwrapped mints into any shape you like (with edges touching one another) onto a foil lined baking sheet. Bake in 250 degree oven for 6-7 minutes or until melted together. Let cool on sheet for 2 minutes and then CAREFULLY pry off the foil.
I saw this on her site as well and thought that it looked fun but I wondered about the candy cane shape. I LOVE the wreaths even more and I am going to pick up some mints and do them maybe Friday with the kids to hang on the tree! Thanks for the great adaptation! ~Je
ReplyDeleteOh I forgot to ask you for two things...leave me a private message on my blog w/ your address so I can send you a Christmas card if you would and also tell me the names and addresses (if you can) of the thrift shops you mentioned up your way. After Christmas sometime I want to head up that way and take a look.
