Autumn Paper Wreath

This little projects is a good way to reuse some old CDs. I made the wreaths with some very young children today. I used white glue to add a ribbon loop to the back of the CDs, before the children started, so that they would be able to hang their wreaths. All of the gold strips to go around the outside had been cut out for them as well as the leaves and flowers. The flowers were just cut into spirals and if they are not glued down flat, they have a bit of a pop-up affect.
Glue sticks were used to attach the gold (or "golden" according to the children) paper to the CDs. The children had a little trouble fanning out the strips to ressemble a wreath. I compared the strips of paper to the rays of the sun, but I'm not sure that helped. The buttons were added with a dab of white glue.
