Valentine's Day or any day is perfect for this lovely "I Love You"
wreath. It takes a little imagination and a few simple materials for
your child to make an adorable wreath. The best treasures we find are
those that our kids have made from their heart. So, here is my heart
craft to you!
Craft Difficulty Rating: AVERAGE
You Will Need:
Paper plate
Ribbon
Pipe cleaner
Construction Paper
Foam letter stickers
Decorative items such as buttons, sequins, beads, etc.
Scissors
Glue
Pencil
Hole Punch
Instructions:
Trace a heart in the center of the paper plate with a pencil. Have
an adult cut out the heart by poking a hole in the center and cutting
around the shape of the heart. This is the basic design for your wreath.
Glue a piece of construction to the bottom of the plate over the
heart. See the picture for details.
Add decorative items to the wreath by gluing them down. I used
beaded hearts, but you can make it look any way that you like.
Using foam letter stickers, spell out "I Love You" on the bottom of
the wreath, as seen in the picture here.
Make a bow out of ribbon and glue it to the top of the wreath.
Make a hole with a hole punch and string a piper cleaner through to
make a loop to hang the wreath with. You're done!
