Countdown to Christmas Wreath

by Bluebonnet Crafters

This project is good to re-use any type wreath you have on hand.  

Wrap each of the surprises in either fabric or paper and tie with the curling ribbon. They can be centered on a square, all the ends pulled up and tied like a pouf. Some can be wrapped as a gift. The more creative you are at this point the better the finished wreath will look.

Set aside the gold surprise. Place the bow at the 12 o'clock position and then glue the 24 gifts spaced evenly around the wreath.

Glue the gold wrapped surprise in the center of the bow.

Beginning the first of December the child is allowed to pick any one of the gifts except the gold one. One surprise a day and on Christmas day they get the gold prize.

This wreath can be hung on a wall or used as a centerpiece on a table.

Another option for an adult party: fill the wreath with party favor type surprises and allow everyone to pick one to take home. Female gifts are wrapped in one color and male gifts in a second color.
