Craft-Along Monday: It's Christmas Time!

It's time for another Craft-Along Blog Hop! Feel free to take my button and link up below!


I love the holiday season! It's a great time to have fun creating things for the home and with the kids. I made my first attempt at a grapevine wreath earlier in the week. It was easier than I thought it would be, but I'm not certain that it's complete.


The kids loved watching my craft, so I picked up some materials for them to make their own wreaths!

What you need:
-Mini grapevine wreaths (I picked up a pack of 2 from Hobby Lobby for $1.99)
-A couple of bunches of Christmas flowers (these came from the dollar store and we used 3 to make both wreaths)
-Hot glue gun
-Whatever else you would like to decorate them with (I picked up a string of plastic bells from the dollar store)
-Twist ties
-3M Command Strip Hooks to hang them on

The kids put the flowers where they wanted them and I went back through and glued them on. We added a plastic bell from the dollar store to both for a little twinkle! On the back I twisted in a twist tie to hang them from and done! Super simple, fun, and festive!
