A Christmas Wreath


Last year I found some fun sparkly paper at Hobby Lobby and I knew I had to make something with it.  I thought and thought and then I came up with the idea of making paper wreaths with my kids hands.  Well, last year my hands were a little too full with a newborn so it didn't happen until this year.  I love how they turned out and it was so easy to do.  I just traced a hand from each of my boys and then used that as a pattern to cut out a bunch more.  I cut out a circle from a 12x12 piece of card stock and then lined the hands up around it till it looked good.  Then I glued it together, added the berries and a nice red bow.  Whalah!  We gave one to each set of grandparents.  They loved it!

Wooo Wooo! That is a fun wreath Courtney! Isn't it sweet to see their little baby hands as a paper cut out! Good job!
