The wreath is very simple and you can make it with your children quickly.
Wind the ribbon around the wreath to cover it perfectly. Fix the ribbon to the foam with some pins. Let the last part of the ribbon hangs from the wreath.
Put the elk using the pins.
Prepare the flower. Draw 4 outlines of flowers with five petals whose dimensions are smaller and smaller. Use them to cut your flower from the felt. In the same way make 2 leaves: one leave must be pale green, the other dark green.
Look at the photo and its enlargement for more details.
Sew all the pieces together fixing the beads in the centre in the same time. Insert the flower on the wreath with some pins.
Link together the Christmas balls using the golden cord so that they hang from the wreath with different lengths and fix the cord to the wreath with the pins.
Your decoration is ready! Hang it to the main door or to a wall of the children room oe where you prefer.
