Making Mother's Day crafts in elementary school - a wreath made of hearts
Simple paper hearts and a bit of glue - that's all you need for this simple but beautiful idea. You can prepare the strips or let the children cut them themselves. That depends on how old your children are. Instead of glue, you can also use a staple gun. Make the hearts as follows and preferably in bright colors.
Take a strip and fold it in half. Then form a heart shape with the two ends and glue or staple them together. Make several such hearts and then place them together in a circle to make a wreath. At the points where the hearts touch, glue them together. Then tie string or a ribbon to hang it anywhere and your Mother's Day wreath is ready. You can also punch holes for the ribbon.
What woman doesn't love necklaces? The perfect idea for a quick and above alleasy craft project. The necklaces can also be turned into key rings using key rings. You need the following materials:
- cord
- round wooden plates with a hole
- Heart stickers (or other shapes)
- felt-tip pens
- Wooden beads
- Scissors
First, stick the sticker on the wooden tag. The children can then paint the wood around it and let the paint dry a little. Then remove the sticker. What remains is the unpainted motif. Then tie string long enough for a chain. It is best to place the knot in the middle and the two ends of the cord are approximately the same length.
Now thread beads in any color and order and finally tie the ends of the string together. If you want, shorten the cord and tie on a key ring to make a key chain.
