Step 1:Gather your supplies
Here's what you need:
- Wrapping paper from all those great presents, tissue paper works too, and a bow.
- Scissors
- Wire coat hanger, bent into a circle.
That's all!
Step 2:Cut strips
Now smooth out the wrapping paper a bit, and get it into a piece about 9" wide, by whatever. Roll the paper up, and cut into strips, about 1" wide. Does not have to be precise!!!!
Make a lot of these.
Step 3:Do the twist
Now, the "fun" part. Take a strip of paper, put it around the coat hanger, and twist, like a twist tie.
Now, do that a million times!
Slide them together to make the wreath full, and do it until you don't see the hanger anymore.
Step 4:Ta Da!
And now that your wreath is full, trim any long pieces, add a bow, (I'm sure you got one on one of those presents) and you're done.
There, you made a free decoration, and you saved some wrapping paper from ending up in the dump. You could even give it to someone as a thank you gift for all the great presents. Or keep it handy for when you realize you forgot to get a present for Aunt Whoever.
Happy Holidays!
