DLTK's Holiday Crafts for Kids
Bear St. Patrick's Day Wreath

This is a fun wreath to do by yourself or with a group.

MATERIALS:

	Ring of cardboard (empty cereal boxes work wonderfully)
	construction paper (green)
	scissors
	glue

INSTRUCTIONS:

	Trace a small plate and a large plate onto a piece of old cardboard.
	Empty cereal boxes or frozen dinner boxes work well
	It doesn't matter if you go over the folds of the cardboard

trace plate

	Cut a small strip of cardboard and glue it onto the back of the ring over any folds in the cardboard.
	This will reinforce the ring.
	Cut strips of construction paper (about 1 1/2 inches by 4 inches)
	glue the strips into rolls (like making a paper chain)

reinforce

	Glue the rolls of construction paper onto the wreath. We made a green pattern, but you can do it however you wish.
	Print out the template of choice.
	Color the template pieces and cut out.
	Glue the head, hat, bowtie, shamrock and two paws on top of the wreath.
	Glue the body, tummy and two paws on the back of the wreath (so it looks like the bear is peeking over the top).

Templates:

	Close the template window after printing to return to this screen.
	Set page margins to zero if you have trouble fitting the template on one page (FILE, PAGE SETUP or FILE, PRINTER SETUP in most browsers).
