    Materials needed for Christmas Wreath Craft

    1. Cardboard Circle:

    Opt for a robust cardboard circle as the foundational element for your wreath. Its sturdiness not only provides a reliable base but also addresses the needs of individuals with dexterity challenges, ensuring a manageable crafting experience.

    2. Old Christmas Cards:

    Curate a collection of old Christmas cards featuring vibrant and nostalgic designs. These cards, laden with memories from holidays past, contribute to a sense of familiarity and personal connection, enriching the crafting experience.

    3. Scissors:

    Equip yourself with a pair of scissors for the dual purpose of cutting the cardboard base and extracting images from the Christmas cards. For added convenience, consider pre-cutting the images to eliminate potential barriers for participants, allowing them to focus solely on the joy of crafting.

    4. Glue:

    Opt for a non-toxic, user-friendly glue, ensuring a safe crafting experience for all participants. The gentle nature of this adhesive is particularly beneficial for those who may require a bit more time during the crafting process.


    Optional: Christmas Carol Playlist:

    Christmas Wreath Crafting Instructions:

    To streamline the crafting process, pre-cut the cardboard circles in advance. This thoughtful preparation minimizes stress and allows participants to immerse themselves in the creative aspects of the activity.
