An Advent Wreath Made by Kids for Kids

I was looking for an Advent Wreath that was super simple for our kiddo's to make.

 One they could create themselves that would be all their own.  

One they could set on their dresser or their desk.

Something to remind them of all of our hopeful waiting! 

So I started digging in my craft closet.

I just knew there had to be something I could do with the pipe cleaners and buttons! 

So simple!

All you're gonna need:

Scissors

3 green pipe cleaners

2 purple pipe cleaners

1 pink pipe cleaner

4 yellow buttons

Step 1:

Connect (by twisting) three green pipe cleaners end to end to make one long stick.

Step 2: 

Wrap the stick around a pencil or pen tightly and remove it gently. 

Bring the ends together to make a circle and twist closed.

Step 3:

To make the candles, cut the purple and pink pipe cleaners in half. 

Thread the button on.

Holding the button at the center, fold the piper cleaner in half, and twist it.

Step 4:

Connect the candles, by curling their bottoms around one of the coils in the wreath,

 and then twisting it around itself to hold it in place. Get it real snug so they don't fall over.
