You will need: 20 individually wrapped candy canes, some white felt, glitter glue, sticky tape, scissors, a pen (not pictured) and a piece of ribbon to hang.
We are going to do our centrepiece first so that it has time to dry.
Step 1: Using your sticky tape as a template, draw two circles onto your felt and cut them out.
Step 2: Using the glitter glue, decorate the circles any way you like. I've gone for a simple red, white and green colour scheme to match my candy canes.
Set these aside until completely dry.
Now it's time to move onto the wreath itself. Now, we aren't going to use any glue on the actual wreath, because we still want the candy canes to be edible after Christmas.
Step 3: take two of the candy canes and, using the tape, stick them back to back as shown below
Step 4: Repeat step 3 until you have ten pairs.
Step 5: Take two of the pairs, and stick them together to form a heart shape in the middle, as shown.
Step 7: Tie your ribbon to the top so that you can hang your wreath.
Step 8: Use your fingers to create a sticky tape loop, sticky side out. Add two of these loops to the back of your centrepiece.
Step 9: Stick your centrepiece onto the middle of your wreath.
Step 10: Repeat steps 8 and 9 for the other side.
It's as simple as that! The hard part will be not eating it!

On a side note, I am currently working night shifts and, as a result, my sleeping pattern has been totally destroyed (It's currently just past 4am), so I apologise if my writing has not been up to standard this time, I will try to remember to do my write-ups during the day from now on. Thanks for reading!
