We've been going through the rolls of tape recently, and the kids have been using them as wheels in their imaginary play. I snuck a tape roll and played around with it this morning to see if it would give in to its natural calling as an upcycled wreath.
For this super-simple project, all you need is a tapeless tape roll (you can use any size- don't throw away the masking tape rolls, the packing tape rolls, or even toilet paper rolls which can be diced to make lots of little wreaths), a strip of scrap fabric, a bit of twine or string, and some fabric glue.
I cut the front from a torn button-down shirt and decided to keep the buttons as baubles. Then I just wrapped it around the tape dispenser, secured the end with the fabric glue, and added some twine to use as a hanger (though it seemed to bulky so I used an aluminum hanger instead.
There are so many directions and flavors in which you could take these mini-wreaths- and so many ways in which little hands could contribute. I'd love to see your wreath ornaments...
