Christmas Wreath Making Workshop with Dried Flowers
Christmas Trees and Wreath crafts tutorial
Looking for some fun and easy Christmas crafts for class? I have some ideas to share!
Here are some cute little winter craft ideas that my grade 2 students tried this year.
WREATH CRAFTS
First, you can make this simple curled paper wreath with just a few supplies. All you need is one pipe cleaner (or wire) bent into a circle, and some green paper strips and red pom poms!

WREATH IDEA #2
We also made a different kind of wreath as shown below.
10-15 green pipe cleaners
1/2 red pipe cleaner, cut into small pieces (about 1/4 inch)
tag board or cardboard cut into a doughnut shape as shown
I pre-cut the cardboard templates, but older students could easily cut them by folding thick paper and cutting two half circles, one inside the other, to make the letter O. The thicker, the better.
Students simply wrap their green pipe cleaners around the cardboard ring – not too tight and not too loose – experiment! When one pipe cleaner runs out, just tuck the end underneath the rest and start again with a new piece, tucking the ends into previously wrapped pieces.
Learn how to make a wreath decorated with flora and fauna native to Australia
In Nicola’s live online art class, you’ll be guided through the process of wreath making with felt. Over the course of the DIY felt native floral wreath class, Nicola will take you step by step through the process, demonstrating how to make a protea flower, wattle, eucalyptus leaves and gum nuts out of felt, before instructing you on your own DIY Christmas wreath.
The class will last about two hours, with your wreath making kit sent to you in advance, and by the end of it, you’ll feel confident enough to be able to explore and expand your wreath making skills. Tailor the experience to create a Christmas door wreath, perfect for the summer, and learn all about some beautiful Australian plants and their properties in the process.
