Moose Head Canada Day Wreath
This is a fun wreath to do by yourself or with a group.
Materials:
- Ring of cardboard (empty cereal boxes work wonderfully)
- construction paper (red and white)
- scissors,
- glue
Instructions:
-
Trace a small plate and a large plate onto a piece of old
cardboard.
- Empty cereal boxes or frozen dinner boxes work well
- It doesn't matter if you go over the folds of the cardboard
Cut a small strip of cardboard and glue it onto the back of
the ring over any folds in the cardboard.
- This will reinforce the ring.
- Cut strips of construction paper (about 1 1/2 inches by 4 inches)
- glue the strips into rolls (like making a paper chain)
-
Glue the rolls of construction paper onto the wreath. We
made a red and white pattern, but you can do it however you wish.
- Print out the template of choice.
- Color the template pieces and cut out.
- Glue the head and maple leaf on top of the wreath.
