Patriotic Wreath DIY Project

DIY Patriotic Wreath

My son and I wanted to make something patriotic for the house this year and were happy to find the supplies we needed for this kids craft at the dollar store!

Kids Craft-Patriotic Theme

What you will need:

• White paper plates
• Crepe paper
• Ribbon/string
• Glue
• Scissors
• Red, & blue construction paper (white paper is optional)
• Star stencil or cookie cutter

(Most dollar stores carry all of these items. I have a Dollar Tree here and that is where I purchased the crepe paper, ribbon, and white paper plates. They also carry glue, scissors, stencils, and construction paper, but I had those items already on hand.)

Step One: Cut out the center of the paper plate. Older kids should be able to do this; however, younger kids should defer to an adult for this step. Then tie a ribbon around the top of the plate for hanging. You can secure the ribbon/string to the plate with a dab of glue or small piece of tape.

 

Step Two: Have your child use the stencil/cookie cutter to trace stars onto the paper. Then, using scissors, cut the stars out. (For younger children I would suggest doing this beforehand and having the stars already cut out).

Step Three: Glue the stars onto the paper plate, focusing around the rim and then filling in around the rest of the plate. For the streamers, cut pieces of ribbon/string and glue to the bottom of the plate.

 

You can then hang your patriotic kids craft on a door, or even outside to give your home some patriotic decor!

New to the Coupon-Wizards?

Are you new to The Coupon Wizards? I’m a one woman blog, but I work tirelessly, day in and day out, to find you the best deals. Both couponing deals and online bargains! This isn’t Extreme Couponing, it’s Effective Couponing! There is a method to my madness as well. Not only do I find sales & deals for you, but in doing so, I find sales & deals for me too. It’s a win win 😉 Plus I’m able to teach others to do this at the same time, which I love!

I started following The Coupon Wizards after doing some research on the subject, with a little prodding from a friend, and coming across them on Facebook. I was hooked immediately & started to learn quickly. Mostly out of necessity, but also because I loved everything about it. The organization, the researching, the putting together of deals, but most of all, the savings! I was saving my family money to pay those bills & be able to eat all at the same time. This blog was a life saver; literally! In no time at all, I was a blogger myself on the site. My husband has since found a job, but this is now mine and I love, love, love it and hope you will to. Let me know what you think in the comments.

Until next time, shop happy 😊
