Make a Theme Wreath

Difficulty: Easy

An easy craft for a beginning crafter. This project can be as simple or as complex as you wish. This project was made with Cub Scouts in mind.

What you'll need:

  • Any type of ring: rope, grapevine, styrofoam, etc.
  • Ribbon (match to theme)
  • Decorations in theme
  • Glue, if needed

How to make it:

  • Wrap ribbon around ring, leaving generous portions of ring showing.
  • Add bow at bottom of ring and/or appropriate decoration: Christmas ornament or greenery, flag, baby bootie or rattle, artificial flowers, small wooden duck or deer, etc.

Tips:

Tacky Glue is better for crafts than hot glue, which boys can easily get hurt using; it's thicker and tackier than Elmer's Glue and dries quickly.

Barb Stephens was kind enough to post these activities that can be done with Cub Scouts - boys ages 7-9 years old. She gave us permission to edit her posting in holiday-specific files.
