DLTK's Crafts for Kids
Christmas Cat Wreath

This is a fun wreath to do by yourself or with a group. I think Kaitlyn's made one for every season now, hehe.

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

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).
