Print Project

Step 1
Trace child’s hand onto a piece of paper to create a template, and cut out. 
Step 2
Using the pattern, trace and cut out four hands from different color sheets of foam. You will need a total of 12 hands. 
Step 3
Arrange the hands in a circle, with thumbs pointing inward. Alternate the colors of foam so that they are evenly distributed. Use the image as a guide. 
Step 4
Once the hands are arranged evenly, glue the hands to each other, lifting each hand and applying glue to the overlapping portions only. Let dry at least four hours. 
Step 5
Once dry, flip the wreath over and lay out six jumbo craft sticks on the back, overlapping them slightly, to create a hexagon. This will be the framework at the back of the wreath.
 
TIP: Make sure the craft sticks will not show once you flip the wreath over again.
Step 6
Glue the sticks one at a time to the back of the wreath. Be sure to overlap them. Let dry again for another four hours.
