I found these recipes on Kraft Canada.

Years ago, really decades, my mother made Christmas wreaths out of wrapped peppermint candies. She carefully attached each candy by one end of its wrapping. She would hang the wreaths up in a protected location near the front door along with an inexpensive pair of craft scissors for clipping the candies off during the holiday season. They were fun to make and fun to eat. :)

I don't know how old your grandaughters are but here is a recipe for stained glass cookies that uses lifesavers:

STAINED GLASS COOKIES
1 c. butter
1 c. shortening
1 c. sugar & 1/4 c. honey (or 2 c. sugar)
2 eggs
2 tsp. vanilla
5 c. flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
Lifesavers or hard candies

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Mix butter, shortening, sugar, honey, eggs and vanilla.
Mix flour, soda and salt. Add flour mixture and chill the dough overnight.
On waxed paper roll out the dough and cut shapes with cookie cutters then cut out areas for "windows" or roll dough into "snakes", shape the snakes into cookies leaving some open spaces.
Place the cookies on a well greased cookie sheet. Fill the openings with crushed hard candies or a whole Lifesaver.
Bake at 350 degrees for 7 to 8 minutes. Let cookies cool for 5 minutes before removing them from the cookie sheet. Makes 4 dozen cookies.

Are these what you are looking for?

Candy Train Ornament
http://crafts.kaboose.com/candy-train-ornament.html

Candy Wreath
•Lifesavers
•String or string liquorice
Decide on a pattern for your candy wreath and assemble onto the string. Green, red, green, red, or 3 white, 1 red, 3 white, 1 red are just two pattern options. Tie a knot with the two ends of the string. Candy wreaths can be created in a variety of sizes.

Or you can make Life Saver men:
thread a doubled-up strand of yarn through the Life Savers, with the looped end at the bottom. Use a needle to thread the strands through a small styrofoam ball to be used as the head. The yarn can then be looped at the top for hanging. Cut two bunches of yarn for the arms and legs, about 15-20 strands for each depending on how thick you want the arms and legs. thread the arms through the yarn between the head and body, then tie at the neck and at the wrists with other small pieces of yarn. Thread the legs through the loop at the bottom of the body and tie at the ankles. Use sequins and other decorations to make the face, adding hair, hat, whatever as you like

Now that my granddaughters are old enough to help I thought it would be fun to spend time making these with them some weekend. However, when I check on "search" there was nothing there. I'm wondering if anyone happened to save the recipes posted years ago.
