What does it cost to make a candy wreath?
I spent about $15 on everything including candy, wreath form, glue sticks and everything. We love to grab the items on Amazon because it is quick and easy.
However, you can also grab most of these items at your local dollar store.
You can also try using a wire clothes hanger instead of a wreath form to make the candy wreath. This will save a little money if you can get the shape just right.
