We created hand cut out wreaths on Friday. The easiest way to prepare for this project is to stack 10 sheets of construction paper and staple them together. Trace one hand from each child and write their name inside of the traced hand. Then cut the hands out ahead of time and keep them in a stack with the name on top. Cut the center out of a paper plate to use for the wreath base.
We decided to glue green tissue paper squares onto the wreath base to hide the white.
This was fun for the little ones, too. :)
The next step was for the kids to glue on their stack of hands.
We went a step further and used a hole punch to punch holes around the wreath to prepare for ribbon lacing. It was a long project and the kids were losing interest at this point. So guess who ended up completing the lacing? ME! I will remember that for next time.
The wreaths look sweet with the ribbons. ♥
I hung them in the playroom to create some more festive color.
♥♥♥Happy Monday!♥♥♥
