Cool Craft: Hard Candy Valentine's Wreath
What You Need:
- 1 coat hanger
- Approximately 30 pieces of assorted, wrapped hard candies, suckers, etc.
- Approximately 30 pieces of colorful, curling ribbon cut into 8? pieces
- Wire cutters
- Pliers to bend the hanger
- Masking tape
- A dull pair of scissors to curl the ribbon

How To Make It:
1. Unbend the hanger and cut it in half.

2. Bend the ½ hanger into a circle leaving about 4? at the top to make a hook. Twist the end to make it look like a circle with a hook on it. 

3. Cut your curling ribbon into 8" pieces. 

4. Fold your ribbon in half. In the middle of that ribbon tie one piece of candy. Tie it on the end of the candy where the paper twists. 

5. Now tie the candy with 2 knots tightly on to the hanger. Tie the candy right next to the wire to help cover it up. 

6. Use the scissors to curl the ribbon on each end. Repeat the process for all your candy pieces. 

7. Repeat all these steps for the candy pieces.
 These make great gifts for friends and family, and they are fun to make. Hope you try it!

Fun Facts: Did you know?
 A billion Valentine's cards are sent each year? That's a lot!

 The most popular people to give valentines to are: teachers, children, mothers, wives, and your sweetheart? 

 In 1999, a new saying was added to the popular sweet hearts candies, and it was "Love Me Tender" (Elvis would be proud!). It was very popular to say in 1999!
