Christmas Wreath
Let’s face it, wreaths are needlessly expensive. Especially for something that needs to endure the weather conditions of a South African summer. Instead of spending an arm and a leg on a throw-away décor item, gather the brood and make one yourselves.
You’ll Need:
- Cardboard Base – doughnut shaped, in a size of your choice.
- Green Tissue Paper
- Glue
- Decorations
- Ribbon
