Christmas Wreath
Christmas can be an expensive time. Heaps of lovely food, presents for the family and decorations for tree and house add to the cost.
Therefore I thinks this Christmas wreath is fantastic because it it is made of plastic bags and the only cost will be the time to make it and a bit of gold paint to brighten it up. Maybe nice to do with the kids on a rainy day?
What you need:
- Lots and lots of plastic supermarket bags without print
- Piece of hose or rubber tube (approx. 50 cm + 10 cm extra to connect both ends)
- Gold paint (spray or little tin) and if using a tin a paint brush
- Gold coloured string or Christmas ribbon Tape
What to do:
Split a 10 cm piece of hose or tube open. Cut lots and lots of white plastic supermarket bags into pieces of approximately 10 x 10 cm and cut a little slot in the middle of the pieces. (I grabbed a lot together and pushed a knife through it) Add them to the tube or hose and fill up 3/4 of the hose.
Push the 10 cm piece (as mentioned above) over the two ends to create a circle. Secure with a bit of 
tape. Spread the plastic evenly over the hose to avoid empty spaces where you can see the hose. Cut off strange corners of loose hanging ends of the plastic. Spray with a little gold paint spray or brush with paint brush little bits of paint over the plastic and let it dry.
Hang on the door, a wall or from the ceiling. See also Christmas display (round tube) for another easy way to show your Christmas decorations. I joined a workshops of Vince Collins of Impact Displays and he told us how to make a Christmas Wreath. I used his idea and my own creativity to make this beautiful wreath. Thank you Vince!.
