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.
