She was supposed to contact the LifeSaver Corporation by sending them a letter. She sent a letter to them but her letter was returned as undeliverable to that address. Does anyone know how she may be able to get a letter to that company and receive a response?

My mom and I made them in the early 70's and I couldn't remember how! I was beginning to think I had hallucinated them! Thank you for reminding me of these fun things! I am going to make them this year with my nieces and nephews!!!!! Hooray for lifesavor people!!!!

We used Large packages of Lifesavers, styrofoam balls, for the head, red and green yarn, sequence, push pins, sequence, googly eyes, cardboard, and tinfoil. We made the body using the Lifesaver. Took a long needle and pulled yarn through it. We took a 3 in piece of cardboard and wrapped the yarn around it 10 times and then removed it from the cardboard and tied a knot into the center of it. We then took and cut the ends of the yarn to give it a tossil or fringey looking end and then tied it to both the top and bottom of the lifesaver to be used as arms and legs. For the head we took a styrofoam ball and pulled the yarn through it, to connect it to the body and then took a little one by one piece of square cardboard wrapped in tinfoil and pulled the yarn through it and then tied a knot in the yarn and made what resembled a tossil comming off the hat. For eyes we used googly eyes wich we glued on and sequence for a nose and mouth and used small push pins to attatch them.

Fortunately for me, my mom still had one that I had made when I was little. Here's what you do: Take 12-28 strands (depending on the thickness and your preference) of yarn about 6" long, and tie them about 1/2" from the end on both sides to make hands. Take 12-28 strands of yarn about 6" long, and tie them about 1/2" from the end on both sides to make feet. Using a 1 1/2" styrofoam ball for the head, use a needle to thread a doubled over 24" strand of yarn through the center of the head. Making sure to leave a 2" loop on one side, and the remaining loose strands on the other. Tie a knot between the loop and the head. Place 6-10 strands of 2"-4" yarn for hair between the knot and head. Pull loose strands from knot on opposite side of the head to hold the hair in place. Tie the arms onto the loose ends of the head. Place a roll of lifesavers on the loose threads, tie the legs to the end of the loose threads beneath the lifesavers. If you want to reuse your Candy man from year to year, you can tie the extra length off at your feet, otherwise, cut them off. If you are going to eat the candy, you should do it within a month or so, the candy will get gooy as it is exposed to the moisture in the air. (It shouldn't be saved from year to year with the candy on it.) I hope this helps, and you are able to build your Lifesaver Candy men. I have a scan of the one we did, but I don't see anywhere to post it. Good Luck.

Separate enough yarn and tie off to make two arms and two legs. You have to poke a hole in the top and bottom of the lifesaver package, so encourage the kids to eat up since the candy will become sticky and unpalatable if left too long. The yarn was kept together for the arms and legs by tying small pieces of yarn around the longer strands to form the shape.

We took about 10 strands of yarn or so (about 6 inches long) and tied them together at each end--leaving it fringed to serve as hands. We also tied them in the middle. Make another bundle for the legs--a little bit longer than the arms. Hot glue these to the top and bottom of life savers roll. Then glue the styrofoam ball on top of the arms. I think the head was decorated with yarn hair and sequins for eyes.
