Quick and easy wreath

Here’s a super easy and really effective Christmas wreath.

You will need green construction paper in a variety of green colours.

You can die cut them in leaf shapes like I did, but if you don’t have access to a die cutter, you can use leaf tracers, or punches, whatever you have around.

Sometimes I get the children to cut holly shaped leaves out of strips of green cardstock.

The you can cut a donut shape out of green cardstock.  I used a dinner plate for the outside ring and a smaller ring on the inside.  I also sometimes use a paper plate and cut out the inside.  It doesn’t have to be a perfect circle, the whole thing will be covered up with leaves. 

slowly cover the ring with leaves.  Make sure the children layer them and cover up the green ‘donut’ shape.  Some of my students decided to pattern the leaves as in the ring below.

Add a bow of red ribbon and some Chrismtas foam shapes and voila!

Here are a few of my favourites.
