I saw one of these on Pinterest.com and thought they would be cute for my son's pre-school teachers. The kids had to miss their Christmas parties at school, so they won't get them until tomorrow. They weren't as easy as they look and I had to start over a few times to get them to look decent.
What you need (per wreath):
*6" embroidery hoop
*10" embroidery hoop
*box of 64 count crayons
*hot glue
*ribbon
*blocks or whatever decorations you choose
-Embroidery hoops come with 2 pieces. You will only need one piece from each hoop.
-Place the smaller hoop directly in the center of the larger hoop.
-Place a dab of hot glue on each ring and place the crayon right side up. On the first few, I lined up the bottom ring on the crayon wrapper to the small hoop.
-As you continue with each crayon, make sure the bottom bumps up the one that's already in place.
-It will start out like this:
-As you continue to add crayons, make sure it's creating a circular pattern as you glue them. The first few times I started, it looked too boxy because I kept lining up the wrappers instead of the bottom of the crayon.
-You can see where I had to remove the crayons and start over....
-When you are finished, run ribbon from the back around 2 crayons, leaving some slack, knot and bow. That's it!
-I used 53 crayons on one wreath and 54 on the other. I found the block letters and apple at Hobby Lobby near the unfinished wood section. Good luck!
I found these on Pinterest.com and thought they'd be easy to make for class parties. All you need is some plastic beach shovels, a silver or white Sharpie, small bags, candy, and ribbon. I made the tags with my Cricut (Doodle Charms) but you could also write on the back of the shovel.
