Artificial Christmas Tree Wreaths

Difficulty: Average

Parental supervision is recommended

Make a beautiful Christmas tree wreath and recycle that old artificial Christmas tree and keep the kids busy creating holiday wreaths to decorate your home.

What you'll need:

  • Old artificial Christmas tree
  • Tin snips
  • Coat hangers
  • Pipe cleaners, optional
  • Miscellaneous lights and decorations

How to make it:

  1. Cut the branches with tin snips into straight pieces.
  2. Then bend a coat hanger into a round shape leaving the hook on the top for hanging.
  3. The tree branches easily twist around the coat hanger -- make as full as desired.
  4. Lastly, wrap with a small strand of lights and decorate with any Christmas trinkets or bows you've collected.

Tips:

Pipe cleaners (chenille stems) work well for affixing the decorations to the wreath.
