3. Gumdrop Wreaths for Doors and Wall Displays
A gumdrop wreath looks charming in any season. The secret to crafting a strong and durable wreath is choosing the right base. Foam wreath forms work best because gumdrops can be pushed directly onto toothpicks inserted into the foam.
Start by cutting toothpicks in half. Insert each half into the foam wreath and attach a gumdrop to the exposed end. Continue until the entire wreath is covered. The result is a full and colorful decoration that resembles a vintage candy shop window. For a winter themed wreath, use red, green, and white gumdrops. For a spring or summer theme, mix pastel gumdrops with artificial flowers or leaves.
If you want your wreath to last longer, you can secure gumdrops with a small dab of glue instead of toothpicks. Hot glue works well but should be used sparingly to avoid melting the candy. Attach a ribbon at the top for hanging and display it on a wall, door, or party backdrop.
