Handmade Holiday Wreath

Each year the girls and I make a holiday craft...or several most years.  We usually make ornaments, but this year we decided to make wreaths.  Making these yarn wrapped wreaths was a really easy and fun craft and created beautiful wreaths.  I had to help my youngest quite a lot because we used a hot glue gun, but my 7 year old did most of hers on her own. 

Here is what we used:
wreath base
yarn
decoration
hot glue gun

How we made it:
Glue the end of the yarn to the wreath base and start wrapping.  Keep wrapping and apply glue about every inch or 2 along to make sure the yarn stays secure to the base.  Once you are done wrapping apply more glue to the end and let dry for a minute.  Then grab the decorations and glue them on.  Tie some ribbon or yarn for hanging.  Enjoy!
