Button Christmas Wreath Craft

Making Button Wreaths

Many of us place wreaths on our doors or in our windows at Christmas. They lighten up the Christmas decorations and make our guests feel warm and cozy when entering out home. How about letting your children create a wreath to adorn the walls of their classroom. It’s not too difficult to do and they will have a lot of fun seeing what they can do with buttons.

Find as many different buttons you can find. Everyone has buttons lying around their house. Ask the kids to bring some in and look in your own home to see what you may have.

Use easy to bend wire. You may want to precut the wire before the children start to decorate the wreaths. This way you can keep all the wreaths the same size and have to worry about children becoming hurt with wire snips. Find cheap swags of greenery at the local craft or department store. Use the greenery to wrap around the wreath. The children will have doing this part.

Now that they have a wreath they can start to decorate it. Use buttons of every shape and size. The colors won’t matter either as long as it is bright and festive. Help them attach the buttons to the greenery with a glue gun. They don’t need a lot of buttons just enough to make the wreath look bright and festive.

When the glue has dried hang the wreaths on the walls of the classroom. What a different and creative way to make a wreath that everyone can enjoy during the holiday season.
