 Craft Project Directions: To make this wreath you will need red and green colored construction paper, scissors, a paper plate, glue, tape, a pencil, large ribbon, red bow, a ruler, a stapler, markers, and crayons. To begin take your paper plate and cut out the middle to create a wreath shape. Next take your construction paper and cut 12 squares more or less depending on the size you choose. (the larger the square, the larger the pinwheel) Draw two straight lines on your squares, connecting opposite corners (it will look like a big X). Next cut along the lines you have drawn- leave about one inch or one half an inch uncut on each towards the center. You will have two triangles now at each corner. Bend back every other one, bringing the point of the triangle to the center. Hold the four points and secure them together with a staple or a piece of tape. (Use the template as a guide for cutting and folding). When you have finished your pinwheels decorate them further if you wish with crayons, markers, glue, glitter, etc. When you are done, glue the pinwheels around the paper plate to create a Christmas pinwheel wreath. Attach a bow at the bottom and a ribbon on the back so you can hang it up. Enjoy Crafting!
