Although the stores are trying
to convince us it's time to start putting up our December holiday
decor, I'm personally just not ready to start thinking about
snowmen and red-nosed reindeer invading my home in November.
We're still working on the autumn leaf theme around our house.
If you're not ready to move
onto December yet, either, here's a simple idea for a fun decoration
to make with your kids. And now that I think about it, you could
even make decorations for your Christmas tree or for small homemade
holiday gifts out of these simple projects.
Wheat Weaving:
1) Soak wheat on the stalk (from
craft stores or local farmers) in a tub of water for an hour
or so.
2) Holding three seed heads
together, braid the stems of the wheat stalks.
3) Curve the ends around to
make an oval loop, a circle wreath, or even bend it a bit to
make a heart shape. |
