We need help please. We loved taking a craft activity to share with the children last Christmas and loved working with the children. They in turn had enormous fun making pompoms! So we have been thinking of another craft to take this year. Obviously this has to be super portable.
And this is what we have come up with! Christmas wreaths! This will be a super straightforward activity and will create something very beautiful for their families. Even better it will pack very easy for the journey home.
We need your help please! We shall need you cutting!
We need 6 inch long by 1 inch strips of fabric in the colours below. Patterned, plain, metallic. Straight cut please. If using a fat quarter, 5 inch is fine, but 6 inch is ideal if possible.
- Red
- Green
- White
- Metallic gold
- Metallic silver
These can be cut fabric, but cut fabric ribbon will work well too. The 12 inch wire base will be their starting point and then the children tie the strips on and fill up the space. We do plan to take some pom pom makers and yarn if children want to add pompoms.
When preparing to post, please get your parcel as flat as possible so lay strips flat in a sandwich bag. This will help us get the max out of our available luggage space!
We have added the rings to our Amazon Wishlist if anyone would like to donate these. Also duct tape to tape off any sharp bits and scissors which will just be useful.
Last posting please November 29th. To Southsea please. Do message for the address.
