I make Candy wreaths for Christmas. Very inexpensive, and the family loves them. Take a wire coat hanger and stretch it into a circle. Get 3 lbs of bulk candy. I have even used the mini chocolate bars. Use curling ribbon and tie the candy all the way around the coat hanger. Voila, you have a tasty wreath. I wrap the candy on individually. You do not need to cut the wribbon as you go. You can use any color curling ribbon. To top it, sometimes I make a wribbon bow, and take pieces of curling ribbon, attach it and curl to fill in some gaps.

I have seen these ideas for a scrapbook made out of brown paper bags, very simple and cute for a gift...
