So simple but yet so pretty…a very easy way to create a lovely eucalyptus wreath
what you need…
- eucalyptus stems
- metal clothes hanger
- florists wire or gardening twine
what to do…
- shape the clothes hanger to a circle shape, or whatever shape you like really, if you can manipulate it into a star shape this looks lovely, especially during the festive period
- wrap the eucalyptus stems around the clothes hanger wire and if you feel it needs securing do so with the gardening twine or florists wire
- continue until you have covered the frame, and hang in the house to appreciate the beauty and gorgeous eucalyptus scent
into a little dream adventure…
- using a clothes hanger as a frame can give you the starting point for lots of crafty ideas – mobiles, a variation of wreaths, wall hangings, dream catchers
- another idea is to use you clothes hanger as a threading exercise for a child using beads, or tying ribbons around the hanger, to make a more unique clothes hanger for your wardrobe
- talk about the shape of the wreath you have created with your child – looking at shapes in general, what shapes can they see and find in their environment, can they match two of the same shapes together, giving them a shape and asking them to go on a treasure hunt around the house to find the similar shape
