my true love gave to me...
a wreath for decorating...
I saw this easy craft hanging up in the after school care room at my daughters school last Chrismtas. All year it has been hanging there and I always think... gonna make one of those this year. So we did!
Take a coat hanger and bend into a circular shape
Wrap tinsel around and around and around (kids might need a little help so they don't get tangled)
Add bow, decorations, whatever your hearts desire.. Ours is a little plain :)
We did this for a family home evening activity and talked about the meaning behind wreaths
Here is some info I gleaned from the internet and shared with the girls.
Much symbolism can be attributed to the Christmas wreath. The shape of a circle has no beginning and no ending. This may represent the eternal nature of a god's love, or the circle of life. Evergreens are used to represent immortality and the victory of life through darkness and challenge. The fact that evergreens live through winter signifies the strength of life. Holly branches have thorns when used in wreaths they can serve to remind us of the crown of thorns used at Jesus Crucifixion.
