"Hand Made Wreath"

Submitted by Amy Carter of GA

This wreath is something to cherish for years to come because it is made of my youngest child's handprint. 

 

Materials:

 

Scrap paper

Green craft foam

White craft foam

Red craft foam

Marker

Glue

 

Directions:

 

Trace your child's hand onto scrap paper.  Trace this paper handprint 4 times onto green foam and 4 times onto white foam.  (It's much easier to trace the paper handprint several times than the child's hand!!) Color the white handprints light green.  Cut out all 8 handprints.  Arrange the 4 light green hands into a square, and glue the green hands in between them.  They will be in 2 layers.  Cut out a bow from the red foam and glue to the wreath.  Using a hole punch, punch several red berries from the red foam.  Glue these randomly on the wreath, as singles, doubles, and bunches of three.  Glue a ribbon hanger on the back of the wreath.
