Christmas Garland

 An effective project but takes a little time ... no painting but a bit of cutting and glueing by students.
Also,  the teacher should stick on the bits of tinsel.

Materials
-Paper plate 

 (or you could draw circle shape around plate on recycled card)
-Green paper
-Red pen  (board pen) or crayon
-Tinsel -Gold and green, if possible
-Glue (Pritt-stick)
-Decorative materials -red paper, gold paper, etc
-Stencils for berry shapes (if needed)
-Usual materials -scissors, pencils, tape etc
-String/Blu tac to attach (optional)

Stage 1
-Cut a circular shape from the centre of a paper plate (mine was a bit smaller than a CD)
*I cut into the side of the plate to cut the circle and then taped it up afterwards
-Colour the outside edge of the plate with red pen/crayon (about an inch from the edge)
 *You can keep the off-cut  of  the centre of the plate, cut into a rectangle and use for a message tag

Stage 2
-Students draw around their own hands. 3 hand images on 1 piece of A4 paper
-Cut out to make 'leaf' shapes
-Stick on 'leaf' shapes

Stage 3
-Cut green tinsel into 3 short pieces. Glue on with pritt-stick
-Cut gold tinsel into 3 short pieces. Glue on with pritt-stick
(Cut over a bin as this can be messy)

Stage 4
-Cut out 3 red circles and 3 gold/silver circles
-Glue on plate

Hang on a doorknob or attach string/blu tac to put on wall
