Creating the Family Advent Wreath – Part I
The first in a series of three… 
The table closely resembled early preparations of a gathering space for Thanksgiving dinner. The setting included bowls, brushes, markers and plates. On each side of the table covering read: The Season of Advent is a time to Celebrate the coming of Jesus. Across from the message read: We watch and wait for signs of God’s Love in the World.
Materials Needed: 9 inch paper plate, 4 small plastic cups, green, purple and pink tissue paper, and 4 battery operated tea lights.
Directions are simple and easy to follow:
- Glue four of the small plastic cups around the edge of the plate, so they are equally spaced. If your plate was a clock, your cups should be in the 12 o’clock, 3 o’clock, 6 o’clock, and 9 o’clock spots
- Prepare the tissue paper for your wreath
a. Pick green, purple, and pink squares of tissue paper
b. Twist the tissue paper around the bottom of a pencil or marker - Use a brush to spread some glue around the cups. You don’t need a lot of glue for the tissue paper
