MOTHER'S DAY HANDPRINT WREATH

I love handprint crafts! I save each one in a special binder and peek at them every so often. It's fun to compare and see how they've grown.  As I'm sure I'm not the only mom in the world who likes to look back and see how tiny those hands were, a handprint wreath makes a nice Mother's Day gift. 

Materials you will need for this wreath are glue, scissors, string or ribbon and three colours of pastel paint or construction paper.   Optionally, a photo can be glued into the center of the wreath.
