The end product -- a one-of-a-kind door decoration -- is certainly special, but the best part of this project is the "collecting walk." This homemade wreath is an ideal group project -- each family member gets a chance to contribute, and there's no wrong way to do it.

Prep Time: About 2 to 3 hours
What you need:
	Nature objects you've gathered on a walk (dried leaves, acorns, seedpods, pinecones, twigs, etc.) Large grapevine wreath (available at garden centers) or individual small ones Floral wire Glue gun
Seasons: Fall, Thanksgiving
Materials: nature objects
Instructions:
1.	Take your family for a stroll through a neighborhood park or any nearby nature spot to gather whatever catches your eye.
2.	Back at home, invite everyone to arrange their finds on a large grapevine wreath, or provide individual small ones to serve as take-home keepsakes.
3.	Twigs, stems, and larger items can be woven into the grapevine or secured with floral wire. A parent can affix small items such as acorns or pebbles with a glue gun. Hang the finished product proudly -- it should last until spring. More Thanksgiving Decorations »
