“Holiday Wreath For Home & Giving”

It’s the most wonderful time of the year, time once again for snowflakes, holiday decorations and gift giving! A creative gift that captures the true essence of the season is a snowman wreath. You can make one quite easily for your own home decor, or to give as a present, by following these easy steps:

Find 2 small tree branches that will be used for the snowman’s arms. You can locate these in your yard, or take a leisurely walk around your neighborhood to find them.

You will need the following supplies which can be purchased at any craft store:
3 green wreaths (8 inch, 12 inch and 16 inches in diameter),
a metal hook for a door,
green pipe cleaners,
winter hat,
scarf and a pair of mittens.

Line up the wreaths starting with the smallest wreath on top for the snowman’s head, then the medium sized wreath followed by the large wreath. Using pipe cleaners, secure the 3 wreaths together, and this will create the snowman’s body.

Take the 2 branches and attach to the medium sized wreath as arms. Use the pipe cleaners to secure the arms on to the body.

Attach a hat, scarf and pair of mittens to the snowman to add to the decoration. These can be attached 1 of 2 ways:

• a glue gun can be used to keep these articles in place
or
• the items can just be placed on to the wreaths using the pipe cleaners.

This project is a simple and fun way to get into the holiday spirit. It can brighten up any front door and make a jolly, inexpensive gift for someone.
