How To Make Your Cut and Paste Advent Wreath Craft
Print both pages of your advent wreath activity onto white paper or cardstock. I’ve used normal white printer paper for my craft which you can see in the photos but if you’d like to make your wreath a bit more durable then I’d recommend using cardstock instead.
Color in the wreath, bow, holly, pinecones and candles. You’ll find a notes next to each of the candles telling you what color is traditionally used for these.
Cut out all of the parts of your advent wreath craft. You’ll find a dotted line around each piece to help guide you.
Glue the candles onto the wreath.
Stick the bow at the front of the wreath and then decorate the rest of your wreath by sticking on the holly and pinecones.
What Do The Candles on an Advent Wreath Mean?
Our printable advent wreath contains five different candles to add to your wreath.
Traditionally the hope, peace and love candles are all colored purple while the joy candle, which is lit on the third Sunday of advent, is colored pink and is a remider to take a joyful pause in your preparations during advent.
The fifth candle is the Christ candle which is optional, it’s colored white and if used is placed in the centre of advent wreaths.
