Ok, I've been super excited about this one since the day that The Paper Mama posted this. Isn't a gumdrop wreath a fabulous idea?!?! (And with her wreath looking so amazing, I'm dying to see what else The Paper Mama pulls out for her daughter's first birthday!)
I loved this tutorial and decided that this would make a great Christmas decoration. Now you know that I'm not uber-crafty, so you know this project is easy! All you need is gumdrops, a plain wreath, and hot glue! I started by lining up the gumdrops perfectly even on the wreath. And then I decided that was a bad idea! Ha! It actually goes better if you just randomly glue the gumdrops on, and squish them as close together as possible. I made a makeshift bow out of curling ribbon, because the wreath needed a bow, and I wanted to cover up some bare spots. I think I will make a cuter bow later, one out of actual ribbon, but this works for now!
I took it to work where it is hanging on our office door, and we got lots of "oooh"s and "aaaah"s. I feel like it's going to hold up pretty well and could be used again next year......as long as gumdrops don't "go bad"!

Oh I wanna make one of those!! I saw her tutorial on it and was kinda intimidated, even though it looked easy. But now after seeing your post, I REALLY wanna do it! He he. Great job, I love it!
Yes, so super easy :) and fun!
It looks so great! I included a link to your wreath in my post today. And, I'll go and put one in the Gumdrop tutorial post too. :D
Aww thanks Chelsey!
SUPER cute! i like the red and green. makes it christmas-y! nice job!!!
very cute! I have so many little fingers around here that I am sure a few would get missing and there would be no one to admit to it.
omg! i turned out PERFECT, way to go mama! i actually love the size too-glad you went with a smaller one. what did the drops run you? i want to make one, but my holiday budget is dwindling. haha!
Yes I love how it turned out! The small one is just right :) the gumdrops were probably $3 if that! Super cheap when you buy them in bulk!
