This simple craft is a great activity for children or families. It is easy to do and looks great! Check out the instructions for this festive Christmas wreath below.
Supplies:
**Parents, please help your children with this project. The tools can be sharp and hot!**
Instructions:
Hold both ends of the pool noodle together and secure with electrical tape to make a circle.
Glue one end of the garland to the noodle and begin wrapping it around.
For a two-toned look, hold 2 different colored ropes of garland side by side while wrapping.
Once you reach the end, glue the bottom of the garland to the noodle and start the process with the next rope. Continue until the noodle is completely covered.
On one end of the wreath, find a spot to push the garland aside and expose the pool noodle. Apply glue to the back of the ribbon and attach it to the exposed noodle.
Fluff the garland back to cover any remaining noodle that may be showing.
String a couple of the ornaments or bulbs together to create a layered look. Cut a 24” piece of ribbon and string it through one of the ornaments, centering them above the bow. Wrap the ribbon around the pool noodle and tie to secure. Tie a second knot in the ribbon creating a loop for it to be hung by.
Trim off excess ribbon.
Repeat for all ornaments you want to add to your wreath.
Hang up and admire!
