In this short video learn to make a really easy holiday wreath that you can use to decorate your house for Christmas or Hanukkah. Smaller versions can also be used as Christmas ornaments. You only need a few supplies: a picture frame, ribbon, paper straws, glue or modge podge, glitter, paintbrush scissors. • http://www.WondermintKids.com • DIY WREATH DIRECTIONS: • STEP ONE • Cut straws in half and in thirds. (If you are making a bigger wreath, cut the straws in different lengths but make sure each piece will still cover the wreath frame) You'll probably need a box or two depending on the size of your frame. • STEP TWO • Take glue that dries clear (like Modge Podge) and use a paint brush to apply glue to a segment of your frame. (Do not apply glue to the whole frame or it might dry before you can get all your straws in place). Glue cut straws onto the frame where you placed the glue. Hold them down for five seconds before moving to the next straw. It looks nice when you make a pattern. For example, two long straws, two short straws, two long straws, etc. Tip: line the edge of the straw up with the inside curve of the frame or cardboard so that the straws fan out in a circle. You can always fill blank spaces with smaller cut straw pieces if you want. • STEP THREE: • Brush or drizzle lots of glue on top of all the straws once you have filled your frame. This extra glue will help keep the straws in place better and, here comes the fun part, you can now add GLITTER by sprinkling it right onto the extra glue. • Let frame dry until all glue is clear. You can hang onto a nail on your door or wall or you can tie a ribbon around your frame at the top and use that to hang it in your house. These also make great gifts! • RESOURCES: Red Spritz Paper Straws; White Birch Paper Straws; Modge Podge; Round frame from Target; Persimmon ribbon cardboard wreath frame for white wreath from Paper Source. • To see PHOTOS and more tips visit the blog post for this video: http://wondermintkids.com/how-to-make... • All ideas road-tested by kids.
