Hand Print Wreath

Wreaths are usually constructed using evergreens because its foliage can withstand the harshest winters. It can also be done using twigs, flowers, fruits and berries, pine cones, or even Christmas ball ornaments! I even saw a birthday wreath made from deflated balloons of different colors.

For today’s craft, we will not use leaves but hand prints. Let’s see how it goes.

Materials:
Cardboard
Green & Yellow Green Paper (we used homemade/hand-painted ones)
Christmas Ball Ornaments
Ribbons
Glue

Procedure:
1. Trace and cut your little one’s hand on a cardboard. This will be your template to make approximately 18 hand prints.
2. Cut the cardboard into a ring about one inch in width.
3. Paste down the hand prints onto the cardboard ring in your preferred arrangement.
4. Make a nice ribbon accent and attach it on the wreath.

Now fix it on the door or your favorite wall in the house. And here are the photos. Enjoy!
