CHRISTMAS CRAFT - CUTE RUDOLPH WREATH PICTURE FRAME

OK, MY FAVORITE CARTOON TO WATCH AT 'CHRIST'MAS TIME IS RUDOLPH THE RED-NOSED-REINDEER.  SO, I DECIDED TO MAKE A CRAFT THAT INVOLVED RUDOLPH, THOUGH YOU CAN USE WHATEVER CHARACTER YOU LIKE, WHETHER IT BE SNOOPY, FROSTY, OR ANYONE ELSE.

SO, START OFF BY FINDING A COLORING PAGE YOU LIKE, PRINTING IT AND THEN COLORING IT.

NEXT YOU CAN TAKE A PIECE OF CONSTRUCTION PAPER.  I ONLY HAD A LITTLE PIECE OF GREEN LEFT, SO IT WOULDN'T HAVE WORKED AND I DECIDED ON USING RED. 

COMPARE YOUR PICTURE TO THE PAGE AND DECIDE HOW BIG YOU WILL NEED THE CIRCLE OF THE WREATH TO BE. 

NEXT DRAW A WREATH AROUND THE EDGE OF THE PAPER, LIKE I DID. 

AND CUT OUT YOUR WREATH. 

AND NOW, YOU CAN CUT OUT YOUR CHARACTER.  CUT AROUND THE EDGES AS YOU CAN SEE THAT I DID BELOW.  GLUE (I USED TAPE, BECAUSE I HAD NO GLUESTICKS, BUT I REALLY RECOMMEND YOU USE GLUE IF YOU HAVE IT) IT ON A BACKGROUND COLOR OF YOUR CHOICE.

NEXT PUT YOUR WREATH OVER TOP OF IT SO YOU CAN MEASURE AND SEE WHERE YOU NEED TO CUT THE BACKGROUND OUT, FOR IT TO FIT PERFECTLY INSIDE THE WREATH.  ALSO, MY WREATH IS A LITTLE SAD LOOKING, BUT HOPEFULLY YOU CAN MAKE A BETTER ONE.  IF NOT, YOU CAN READ TO THE END AND SEE WHAT I DID TO MAKE MINE LOOK A LITTLE BETTER.  

NOW YOU CAN CUT OUT YOUR BACKGROUND, LIKE I DID IN THE PICTURE BELOW. 

NOW YOU CAN GLUE YOUR WREATH ON TOP OF THE BACKGROUND.  NOW, I MADE MY WREATH LOOK A LITTLE BETTER BY ADDING THE MISTLETOE FROM THE COLORING PAGE AT THE TOP, SOME LITTLE HOLLY LEAVES ON THE SIDES, AND A MERRY CHRISTMAS SIGN AT THE BOTTOM. 

HANG IT WHERE YOU WANT, AND IT'S DONE!  

I HOPE YOU ENJOYED THIS LITTLE 'CHRIST'MAS CRAFT!  I REALLY LIKE MINE, NOW THAT IT'S FINISHED! 

SIGNED,

HANNAH
