Make your own kids handprint Christmas wreath
What you’ll need for your handprint Christmas wreath
To make your handprint Christmas wreath
1. Using the pen or pencil, draw around your child’s hand onto the card. Repeat this several times until you have around 10 handprints.
2. Cut out each of the handprints using the scissors.
3. Use the PVA glue to glue the handprints together in a circle to make your Christmas wreath (see image). Overlap the handprints slightly as you go.
4. Using the craft materials (ribbons, sequins, stickers etc), it’s time for your child to get creative and decorate the wreath.
5. Once their Christmas wreath design is complete, either make a bow with the red ribbon and glue it on to the bottom of the wreath using the PVA glue or draw on a red ribbon if it’s easier.
6. You're now ready to hang the Christmas wreath on your front door or one of the doors/walls in your house. The wreath also makes a great personal gift for grandparents and other members of your family.
