Marshmallow World Wreath & Other Beauties

I still remember my grade school Christmas show when we belted out the tune "It's a Marshmallow World." Yeah, I know it's probably on your list of top 10 Christmas songs of all time (has anyone ever heard of it?!).

Cue the music!

It's a Marshmallow World in the Winter
When the Snow Comes to Cover the Ground
It's a Time for Play
It's a Whipped Cream Day
I Wait for it the Whole Year Round ...

Sorry, got sidetracked in my grade school memories! So anyway - I decided to do a marshmallow wonderland and make this fabulously delicious looking wreath! My girls love s'mores so I attached a few skewers with a clothes line (love that it looks like butchers twine) I found at my old standby - the Dollar Store.

So easy - all you need are large marshmallows (I used four bags), small marshmallows (just a few handfuls), toothpicks, a white foam wreath form (mine was 16") and a ribbon for hanging. Tie the ribbon in a double knot around the wreath, poke in a toothpick then put a marshmallow on top and continue until you've covered the whole form. The best part was this only took about 1/2 hour. Love me a simple craft! When you're done, just pop it in the fridge to harden a bit. You may want to keep this wreath inside so the critters don't get to it!

Here are some of my other favorite winter wreaths - I am going to stockpile silver platters so I can make the silver wreath one day! The cork one is amazing too and I'll have to start saving my corks - it should take about two weeks to save that many (not - I'm not that much of a lush people)! And the ornament wreath would look great with vintage Christmas balls.
