What are you referring to using the ribbon for with this question?
If you are going to use it for tieing the candy on use something cheap like
kite string or yarn. Go to the dollar store when they get their
Christmas decorations out and you can get all types of stuff to decorate the
wreath.
Last year for $1 I got a Santa's head and a pair of Santa's boots. I
attached the head at the top and dangled the bootes below so the round wreath
represented his belly. I purchased a yard of Christmas fabric and cut a
strip around 4 1/2 inches wide by the 45 inche width of the fabric and tied a
lovely bow on some of the wreaths.I got 8 bows out of a yard of fabric. I
just folded it in half so it was about 2 1/4 wide. I didn't sew it or
anything just tied it on .

OK I've seen these candy wreaths made before, but I remember them being
kind
of fluffy. Can the ribbon be inexpensive like curling ribbon or does it
need
to be stronger? Thanks for all your help. I look forward to making these
for
a few people as Thank yous this year.

Yes....you want a circle form. Some people take a metal clothes hanger and
make it into a circle....to give you an idea of how thick the metal will
feel. It is only one ring. Think of a 10, 12 or 16 inch ring to go on your
finger and you have it...smile.
