Handmade Holiday Wreath
DIY guide for how to make a holiday wreath craft. Great family activity to keep your kids busy and make a handmade Christmas decoration.
Equipment
- Scissor
- Glue Gun
Ingredients
Construction Paper
- 1 piece paper Dark Green
- 3 piece paper Light Green
- 1 piece paper Red
Accessories
- 1 bag Sparkle Chenille pipe cleaners
Christmas Colors - 1 pack pom poms Red & Green
- 1-3 pack glitter Christmas Colors (as desired)
Glue
- 1 rubber cement or glue stick
- 1 hot glue stick or Elmer's Glue
Instructions
Trace Hands
- Have your child trace their hand on either light or green construction paper. Trace the same hand twice on the same sheet of paper, leaving you with two traced hands on one sheet
Cut Out Hands
- Stack sheets on top of each other to cut multiple hand patterns at a time. Depending on how good your scissors are, you may need to split into batches, so stack 3-4sheets, cut, repeat until you have 10-12 hands cutout.
Stack Paper
- Stack sheets for cutting. This is where I missed, I traced and cut out each hand individually, big pain!
Assemble Wreath
- Place red construction paper flat on table.
- Lay green hand cutouts in desired location to form a wreath.
- Glue each hand to the red paper, layering each added hand on previously glued hand.
Decorate
- Make bow out of pipe cleaner
- Glue pom poms on wreath as desired
- Glue glitter on wreath as desired
