Christmas gift card
Materials:
- Red and green construction paper
- any small size seashells or sea stars
- scissors
- Elmer’s multi- purpose glue
- paper towel
Method
Cut a card from red construction paper. After that cut out a wreath shape from green construction paper, and paste it on the red card. Using small shells, make a design on the wreath. You can use your own imagination to make a nice pattern or just follow instructions. Have a cluster at the top, bottom, and each side of the wreath to create centers, and use narrow pointed seashells or small size sea stars to carry out the circular pattern in between.
