Family Fun ~ Christmas Craft with Kids Takes 1 Hour
If you're a parent and you're looking for something fun to do with your kids, try this. It's from Disney's Family Fun website.
Family Fun with Beads and Wreath
- Total Time Needed:
- 1 Hour
The wreath can symbolize the circle of friendship, which makes this decorative sun catcher just the gift for almost anyone on your family's list.
- Materials
-
- 16- to 20-gauge silver-colored craft wire
- Wire cutters
- Translucent plastic beads (with center holes large enough to thread the wire through)
- Ribbon
- Fishing line or monofilament
- Instructions
-
- Cut the wire to a length that will form a loop the size of the wreath you plan to make plus 6 inches (16-gauge wire works best for larger wreaths).
- Curl one end to keep the beads from sliding off, then thread on the beads from the opposite end.
- Twist the wire ends together to close the circle and wrap the loose ends around the wire between the beads.
- Tie on a ribbon and a loop of fishing line or monofilament for a hanger.
