Make
this insanely simple wreath and look like a star
this 4th of July. Hang it on your front door to
welcome your friends and family to your get
together or take it with you as a gift to YOUR
host.
You will need:
11 yards 1" wide red-white-and-blue ribbon
20" grapevine wreath
Three 4" x 6" American flags
Floral wire
Instructions:
Weave 2 1/2 yards of ribbon through the grapevine
wreath. Glue the ends of the ribbons together; this
is the bottom of the wreath.
Arrange three flags at the bottom of the wreath in
a fan shape so they slightly overlap; glue the
flags in place. Use a small amount of glue to
secure the edges of the flags where they
overlap.
Cut two 36" lengths of ribbon and fashion a small
multi-loop bow from each piece; tie with floral
wire. Glue a bow to each side of the wreath.
Use the remaining ribbon to make one large
multi-loop bow. Glue bow to the bottom of the
wreath to cover glued sections of ribbon and
flags.
While there are many reasons for teaching kids to cook -- less expensive than eating out, preserves family heritage, etc, the most important
reason is that by teaching your child to cook, you're giving him a better chance to be a healthy grown-up. Enabling your child with the ability
to appreciate freshness and to transform ingredients into tasty foods opens their eyes to making wiser choices about what to eat...
