DIY Christmas Wreath Frame
We have a lot of cardboard boxes lying around our house especially around Christmas. Instead of getting rid of all those boxes, use one to make a simple and low-mess Christmas craft with your kids.
This craft can be made in 25 minutes or less. To help keep your child engaged longer, you can do all of the cutting beforehand and store everything you need in a
bag. When it is time to make your Christmas wreath frame, all you have to do is grab the bag and create!
