RECYCLED EASTER WREATH COLLABORATION CRAFT

My children and I collaborated on an Easter craft today --- an Easter Cross Wreath:

 

Materials:

Sticks

9 inch wreath from the Dollar Tree

Acrylic paint, paint brushes

Hot glue gun

My kids and I gathered thinner sticks outside. Then I wiped them off with a paper towel, allowed them to dry. Each of my children chose a paint color to paint their sticks.

After painting their sticks, we let them dry for a few hours and then I snapped the sticks into smaller pieces making a cross out of the sticks. Then hot gluing the horizontal and vertical sticks together.  Then hot glued all the crosses on the wreath. Finally I hung our Easter Cross wreath on our front door. I used the clear plastic price tag that came on the wreath to hang it on the front door hook.  This was a thrifty, recycled fun craft to do with my kids! It was a collaboration!
