Miss E and I have been making some Christmas wreath decorations to gift to her teachers and Godparents this year. I'm really pleased with how they have come out and think they are a fab gift. The best thing is that these were made by a 10 year old and are really simple and cheap to make.
Here's what you need -
- Curtain rings (wood ones as they ave the metal hoop at the top) We used ones compatible with a 28mm pole and picked these up in Homebase for £1.29 for 6
- Wool in any colour you fancy, green if you want them to look like traditional wreaths (£1 in Poundland)
- Multi-size gems - I bought 2 packs of different size ones for 99p each from Hobbycraft
- 3mm ribbon in a colour of you choice (40p per metre)
- Hot glue gun (or another firm glue)
- A pair of scissors
How to make the Christmas Wreath Decorations
1. Cut a long length of wool. Tie it on to the curtain hoop close to the metal ring. Take care to wrap the wool around the hoop, pushing it close to itself every so often and ensuring you keep a tight hold. If you run out of string, you can tie another piece on and the knot will sit at the back so it won't show, Once you have finished the full hoop tie off the string around the metal hoop and make sure it is secure.
