Advent wreath #2

Supplies, foam, tissue paper, greenery, stapler

This is another advent wreath that I made.  click here for the 2-D wreath.  I try to make Advent “real” for kids–I  want the kids to have the same excitement over the lighting of a “new” candle but in a safe way!

peel back this much of the white–that way the inside won’t be sticky

cut tissue paper for the flame or use marker on a coffee filter to make it look like a flame

FAIL! I love showing how my great ideas fail and need to be reworked. I used a stapler the second time around!

This was taken before I put the staples in!

This project has so many possibilities:

• use toilet paper tubes and cover with fabric, scrapbook paper, yarn
• use a wrapping paper tube and paint it purple and pink then cut into varying lengths
• paint tubes green and cut to make the greenery part of the wreath.

Be Blessed as we enter this time of anticipation, planning and thoughtfulness.

A merry meaningful Christmas, All things Christmas
