Something we got out of the Friend magazine this year... candy ropes... it sounded like fun... so we tried it... it was a little tricky to figure out the exact way to staple the pieces together... but we got it figured out (one way breaks the candies... the other worked just fine). After making a couple to give away, we made one for our tree as well... heck, who needs garland anyway? It was really pretty and added a nice touch to the tree... until it was pulled on a little and broken leaving us with several small "ropes" which have been disappearing!
We made ours Sunday afternoon just before decorating.. but we had stayed up late making the others the night before... the kids shifted from that to making a lifesaver rope.... that turned out to be too heavy and is still sitting in a bowl..... yikes!
