Every year I try to come up with some great craft for us to make and giveaway as gifts to Luke's daycare teachers. In the past I've made snowman brick pavers, and terra cotta pot reindeer, but this year I needed something that would be cute but not expensive. I was looking at my best friends Christmas tree when I saw these cute little rice wreaths that her son had made at school. I had to have one! I looked on the internet and found the directions and we made a day and we all got together and made ornaments.
These ornaments are so easy and fun to make.
Rice Wreath Ornaments
Uncooked rice
Elmers white glue
Green food coloring
Red Hot candies
Put 1/4 cup of rice in a paper cup. Add enough glue to coat the rice well. Add in green food coloring until you get the desired shade of green.
Place mixture on wax paper and form into a wreath. You can use your fingers or a craft stick to do the forming, either way works.
Let dry several hours or overnight. Once dry, use glue or glue gun to glue on Red Hot candies for berries.
Use string or yarn to glue loop onto back of ornament for hanging.
I sprayed my wreaths with acrylic to seal everything and help keep the berries on. It made them have a shine. I like to spray everything with acrylic :)
Sorry I don't have any better pictures of this craft. I'm having problems with my memory card for my camera. It won't read half the time, and right now is that half of the time.
