However, I am occasionally inspired. So, armed with a memory from my own public school childhood and a couple of crafty blog posts fresh in my mind, we made a Christmas craft this year!
Behold!
The Simple Paper Wreath Ornament!
1. Download snowflake wreath design from www.papersnowflakes.com/wreaths. Print the wreath on the bottom half of 8.5x11 green cardstock. You might have to adjust the size of the wreath.
2. Fold paper in half with wreath on surface (see upper right in 1st picture). Cut around wreath being careful to cut both halves and leave a piece of the fold at the top. Cut out inner circle of the wreath on the top half. (See bottom right with girl's photo inserted). Punch 2 holes in the top near the fold.
3. Decorate your wreath! We used washable glitter glue. It added a bit of 3 dimension, sparkle and fun. These sort of squirt out the glitter glue when squeezed. Let them dry for several hours. How long will really depend on how thick your glitter glue is. We let ours dry overnight just to be safe.
4. Once they are dry, glue a photo on the inside so that your smiling face is looking out of the wreath. Let the glue dry.
5. Cut several inches of ribbon. Insert the ribbon through the holes and tie a knot. Now your ornament is ready to hang!I'd love to see what you make with these instructions!!

Nice job with the wreath pattern! Appreciate your recommending my site. Just to clarify so there's no confusion, the wreath patterns are located, not at scissorcraft.com, but at this URL: http://www.papersnowflakes.com/wreaths.htm
