Yarn Wreaths

From: "Kids Create!" by Laurie Carlson

Materials

Coffee can lid Green yarn in 18 inch lengths 12 red pony beads 24 inch piece of ribbon Glue Tape Fishing line Craft knife 1. Ask an adult to cut the center part out of the plastic lid, leaving a donut shape about 2 inches thick.

2. Wrap the green yarn around the lid, securing the ends to the back with glue or tape. As the lid is covered, string on a pony bead here and there to look like holly berries. Cover the whole lid with yarn. Then glue the yarn end to the lid, hiding it under the yarn wrapping.

3. Tie the ribbon into a bow and glue on at the top of the wreath.

4. Tie on a piece of fishing line (or you can use a piece of green yarn), creating a loop for hanging in the window, on a door knob, on the wall or on the Christmas tree.
