How often have you wanted a wreath for your storm door, but a wreath will not fit between the door and the storm door?

So what can you do?  How about making a totaly flat wreath?  This would be a fun craft for your kids to do.

What you will need

• Scissors
• Large peice of cardboard, foam board or brown craft foam
• Craft glue (foam glue if using craft foam)
• Gold glitter glue
• Yellow, orange, red and green poster board, Bristol or craft foam
• Brown spray paint if using cardboard
• Pencil or marking pen
• Exacto knife
• Hanger

What to do

1. Cut a circle out of the cardboard, foam board or craft foam the size you wish your wreath to be.  You may want to use a large bowl to draw the circle.
2. Draw a smaller circle in the middle of the wreath.  Again you may want to use a slightly smaller bowl to draw the circle.  The wreath sides should be 2 - 4 inches thick.
3. With an exacto knife cut and X inside the circle.
4. Cut out the smaller circle.
5. Spray paint the cardboard or white foam board is used.  Otherwise you are ready to go.
6. Trace cookie cutters leaves in different shapes or freehand the leaves on the yellow, orange, red and green craft foam, posterboard or Bristol (cardstock/very stiff scrapbook paper).  You may also buy fall leaves already pre-cut out of craft foam.
7. Trace the outsides of the leaves and draw veins with gold glitter glue.
8. Allow to dry.
9. Glue leaves to wreath.
10. Attach a coke tab or craft wire to the back as a hanger.
11. Hang your wreath on the door and enjoy.
12. You may make wreaths for other seasons (Christmas, Easter, etc.) by tracing shapes from a cookie cutter or pattern or freehanding.  Use fabric paint to add details to your shapes.
1. Christmas:  reindeer, ornaments, gingerbread men. 
2. Easter:  bunnies, eggs, chicks.
3. Fourth of July:  red, white and blue stars.
4. Use your imagination on the shapes.
