Have you ever made a candy necklace? The first time I ever made these necklaces, I was looking for something different than cards for my child to take for “Friendship Day” (aka Valentine’s Day) at school. It was a very Martha Stewart moment – I made 18 for the class and teachers. Whew!
The good news? These are really very easy with lots of room for personalization. Change the candy, change the ribbon, use colored plastic wrap, add a To/From tag – the options are endless.
Here’s the basics of what you’ll need:
Plastic Wrap
Candy ( demonstrated here is a “kiss” ) – 15 pieces
Ribbon – 15 5-6″lengths
Measure off plastic wrap – I used 50” which will make for a nice finished length .
Lay the wrap out and position the candies – about 2” in from the edge and then space them 3 – 4” apart.
Bring the edge of the wrap over the candy and then slowly roll, keeping the separation between candies.

When you have finished the roll, place a length of ribbon between each candy. Mine measure 5 – 6”.
Tie each ribbon in a bow or knot (your preference).
Tie the ends together to make a necklace.
Voila!!
It’s a perfect gift for a teacher or anyone else you are “sweet” on.
