Craft Supplies For Making A Gratitude Wreath For Thanksgiving
- Thankful wreath craft PDF
- White paper or cardstock
- Scissors
- Glue
- Colored pencils, markers or crayons
How To Make Your Thankful Wreath
Start by printing out both pages of the PDF file. White paper is fine of this but if you want to display your wreath at home then you might want to print it onto cardstock to make it a little more sturdy.
TIP – If you are pressed for time or don’t want to color everything in then you could print directly onto colored paper or cardstock instead.
Using your coloring materials, color in the wreath, leaves, hearts and bow. While normally I would use colored markers for a craft like this you may want to choose coloring pencils instead if you will be writing on your leaves afterwards to ensure that the words can be seen.
Using a marker pen, write something that you are thankful for on each of the leaves. If you need some inspo then some ideas might be family, pets, particular Thanksgiving food that you enjoy, toys you like or your best friends.
Use your scissors to cut each of the items out, following the dotted lines around each of them.
Add a small amount of glue to each of the leaves, hearts and the bow and stick them onto your Thankful wreath to finish your craft.
