The wreaths seen below can be changed into thousands of designs.  Items from your kitchen can be used.  The Holly leaves can be cut with small sewing scissors or a paring knife. They can also be shaped by hand.  

This project can be made into a pin, a wall hanging, stocking holder centerpiece with a candle in the center and so much more.  You can make them in whatever sizes you desire. However, if the diameter is going to be more than 5," bake 10 to 15 minutes longer than the time shown :)

Candy Cane Santa Wreath With Ribbons  

Candy Cane Wreath:

Make a large roll of green dough about 6" long or more and about 2 or 3 " wide.  Join both ends of the rope at the top end and fuse together.  

Using the the pointed edge of the paring knife, make short, quick slashes over the top surface of the dough.  Insert a strong ornament hanger into the top center of the wreath and then bake at 350 degrees for 40 to 90 minutes or until hard.  

Make 5 dough candy canes, about 3/4" tall. Let air-dry or bake, then glue each in place to the wreath.  Varnish completely and let dry.  Glue a large matching bow to top area where the wreath ends were fused together.  Glue tiny bows to the top of each cane.  This wreath can be used as a tree ornament as well.

 Holly Wreath Variation:  

Family Wreath:

Make the Holly Wreath the same as for the wreath with leaves or the rope and fuse on a wood or dough plaque (already hardened dough) to bottom area as shown in the photo.  Let wreath air-dry. When hard, paint the plaque or leave as is. Paint Merry Christmas across plaque if large enough or your family name. Varnish. See the dough art wreathes Patterns and Illustrations.
