Crafting with natural materials
To make a beautiful, yet easy and inexpensive ANZAC Day wreath, use a paper plate as a base.
Cut the centre of the paper plate out.
Gather some gum leaves, wattle and bottlebrush, or whatever natural materials you have available.
I stapled the leaves on first…
Then added the bottlebrush and wattle on top.
Paper plates with the middle cut out make a perfect base for a wreath. And they’re cheap & easy if you’re working with a whole class of young kids. Head outside so the kids can collect some natural materials. I’ve glued on gum leaves, gum blossom and gumnuts to give it a very Aussie touch, but just use whatever plants are available. A very simple yet effective nature craft activity!
