Crafting with Necco Wafers All Natural

Necco Wafers Get a Little Crafty!!!
Let's talk healthy turkey! I love Necco Wafers (even more so since they went all natural) and I love to craft - put those two together and what do you get? Fun, healthy, creative projects for the holidays!
There are two ways to 'glue' these projects together - one you just dip them in water or for a sturdier end result, try the Edible Glue Recipe.
Water Glue
All you do is dip the end of the wafer in water and place on another wafer. The wafers stay a little shiny after they dry.
Edible Glue Recipe
Grind up a few wafers in a food processor or mash in a bowl with a wooden spoon. Add a drop of warm water at a time and mix until you have a stiff mixture. To use, add a dab of the glue to a wafer and place on next wafer.
