Peppermint wreath tutorial

This is the easiest project in the world. All you need are 2-3 bags of peppermints, a hot glue gun, and a wreath. I prefer to use the wooden wreaths, and the only place I've been able to find these are the Dollar Store. If you can't find those, I suppose a straw wreath would work just fine. The whole project cost me $4.00.

Just like the topiaries, you want to work in rows. Here's my first row:

The front of the wreath, completed:

With my first wreath, I covered the entire back of the wreath in peppermints. With this one, I decided to stop once all the sides and inside was covered.

I didn't get pics of the next step, but you will need to seal the wreath. I used sealant spray. You'll want to do several coats because the peppermints can be quite sticky. No pics of the final project (I stink at tutorials!) but you here's a pic of the first one I did.

I really wanted to do some gumdrop trees and topiaries this season but I could not find gumdrops anywhere! Aren't these cute? I found a great tutorial here.

When I was going through my pictures folder, I found pics of my glitter ornaments. Aren't these pretty? I love glitter! I just coated plain oraments with mod-podge, glittered, and then did another coat of mod-podge and glitter once the first coat was dried. I sprayed these with sealant as well. So sparkly!

I couldn't resist sharing this pic of JC. Here he is, in his christmas elf costume. So cute!
