Thanksgiving Craft: Wreath



There is nothing more special than to hang a Thanksgiving wreath on your front door.  It is inviting as well as pleasing to the eye.  For this Thanksgiving, why not involve your entire family in the craft of making a Thanksgiving wreath?  Here are some suggestions.

Having ventured out to various stores, Thanksgiving items are already being displayed.  One store had a beautiful wreath made of grapevine with fall-colored leaves attached.  Although the leaves were plastic, it was a simple, yet elegant wreath.  The more one looked at it, the more it seemed it could be spruced up by adding additional items such as berries, nuts, or perhaps a small pumpkin in the center.

Another wreath was quite impressive.  This one used the basic grapevine, but the leaves were freshly picked and dried, then glued to the vine.  In addition, there were feathers and beautiful red and green checked fabric which was used to tie berry branches to the vine as well. 

One wreath that was quite unique was made out of a large 8-1/2×11 picture frame.  The leaves covered the outer part of the frame with berries and nuts placed within the leaves.  The center, however, was the focal point of the wreath.  A picture of a family with small text indicating three things they were thankful for on this special day.

Thanksgiving, after all, is a day of giving thanks and signifying not only the beauty of the holiday but one’s sentiments as well.  A Thanksgiving wreath is not only a lovely way to express the holiday’s meaning, but a gift to share with family, friends, and neighbors as well.

There are so many different wreaths one can creatively and ingeniously make to celebrate Thanksgiving this year.  Your local craft store has all of the items you need to create a wreath unlike any other.  Remember to take pictures for your scrapbook as well.  If the Thanksgiving craft in wreath-making has been a tradition in your home for years, then every picture taken is a reminder of how much love and attention you have given in designing a special wreath for your family.

At a time when world events seem to invade our daily lives, this year it is especially important to show not only how thankful we are for all we have, but show our thanks for the freedom we enjoy every day.  Perhaps a wreath with a teddy bear dressed in red, white and blue may be appropriate at this time.
