Step-by-step tutorial
Step 1
We started our project by heading out on a nature walk to a nearby project. Each kid had a bag and gathered up leaves and pinecones and anything else they thought looked pretty. Then we gathered up some grapevine wreaths (found at any craft store for a few bucks), some string to tie things on, and scissors.
Step 2
Since it was a beautiful day, we did the whole project outside. The kids wove the stems of the leaves they gathered into the vine wreath.
Step 3
We used string to wrap around larger items (like big leaves) to the wreath.
Final result!
Ta-da! These beautiful wreaths are a fun celebration of fall. The kids loved this simple and easy project, especially since they were able to do the whole thing themselves.
