Christmas: Family Wish Wreath

December 2, 2015 By Vanessa Leave a Comment

Family Christmas Wish Wreath

Hey everyone! My name’s Danielle from Busy Mom’s Helper, and I’m thrilled to be joining in Vanessa’s 20 Crafty Days of Christmas! I’m a HUGE lover of Christmas, from the music and lights, to the family and food, the crafts and gift tags – it’s all magical. I also really love the traditions, and the past couple years my Hubby and I have tried figuring out which ones our own family would love – like this adorable DIY Family Wish Wreath!

Wish-Wreath-7

We’ve had traditions like reading The Night Before Christmas and the story of Jesus’ birth for awhile, and ones like pjs from our ‘elves’ on Christmas Eve from our childhood. When I heard about this one a few years back I knew I wanted to include it in my family’s holiday – but kept putting it off ‘one more year’. This year I made it a strict point to begin our own Family Wish Wreath! It’s super easy, and will hold memories for years to come (literally!)

SUPPLIES

Wreath
Ribbons
Plain ornaments (make sure they can open)
Paper strips and pen
Black permanent marker

Wish-Wreath

DIRECTIONS

Step 1: Use some fun ribbon to decorate your wreath. I did a swirl around, simple design – but make it your own!

Wish-Wreath-2

Step 2: Each year you’ll use another ornament. Have each member of your family take a strip of paper and write their Christmas wish on it – not like a toy, but a real, deep wish. For example, my wish this year is to find a foster child to adopt into our family. Roll each strip up and CAREFULLY slide it into the ornament. Warning: some may have really sharp points or edges, so be careful and supervise children.

Wish-Wreath-3

Step 3: Use a black marker to write the year on the ornament.

Wish-Wreath-5

Step 4: Use some other ribbon to attach the ornament somewhere on your wreath.

Wish-Wreath-4

Step 5: Display your wreath, and enjoy watching more wishes added in the year to come! In a decade or so, or when you’re family is grown, open them up to remember all the past wishes!

I'm Vanessa and it's my mission in life to spread my love of hot glue guns and glitter to others. I suffer from craft ADHD, regularly working on at least 10 projects at the same time and my craft room looks like a tornado hit it. My first craft book, Party in a Jar, was published in 2014. I look forward to crafting with you!
