A simple wreath to put together to celebrate Easter!

Supplies

WREATH LEAVES pdf

MESSAGE BANNER pdf

Cardboard from a shipping box

Scissors

Watercolors/markers

Glue

Directions

1. Cut out your desired wreath size from cardboard. First, cut out a circle. Then, cut out another circle by leaving 2”-3” border to be used for the wreath.

2. Print out WREATH LEAVES and MESSAGE BANNER. We used about 14 printed pages for our 2’ round wreath.

3. Cut out leaves and glue onto your wreath.

4. Paint the blooms on the wreath.

NOTE: If you want to paint all the leaves and blooms, paint each print out first before glueing onto the wreath.

We wanted a minimalist wreath, so I left the leaves black & white and just painted the blooms.

5. Cut out your Easter banner message and glue in place.

Inspired by the artist Frida Kahlo, download and print out the FRIDA KAHLO illustration page to color and decorate.

Go outside, collect some flowers, leaves, berries, twigs… whatever you can find. And decorate Frida’s hair with her a beautiful floral head piece that she would wear to pair with her beautiful, tradition Tehuana dress.

WORDS WEDNESDAY and combining a little swipe art (how to here) with a message so appropriate in this season. It really feels like the whole world is in this together. We’re finding ways to understand one another while in isolation, anxiety, and frustration creeping in, but also finding ways to inspire one another and encourage creativity. And with the rainbow being a symbol of solidarity and hope as we all combat the spread of virus, here’s another one to make and tape to your windows.

Today’s WORDS WEDNESDAY is a coloring page for “MAKE EACH DAY COUNT” It was a reminder from Sunday morning’s sermon from Psalm 90, which we were able to gather with our church family virtually. Thankful to technology that we can still have Sunday gathering and not neglect to gather as a church during this time.

With the sheet… fill it in, color it, decorate it, and share it with the rest of us on Instagram! Put it on your wall as a reminder that while we are confined to our homes, we can still make each day count.

For me, it’s been a reminder to spend time in the word and savor God’s goodness, even with the fear and suffering going on. There’s still an opportunity to redeem the time that has been gifted to me. It reminds me for me to live is Christ, and as hard as it is to imagine at times, to die is gain because I know there are eternal glory days up ahead.

In an article I read last week, children were making rainbows and putting them in their front windows of their home to spread joy and hope during this Covid-19 pandemic. Children all over the world seem to be participating because we really are all in this together.

Supplies:
Rainbow template
Cardboard
Scissors
Paint
Paintbrushes
Paper clip
12″ strand of yarn

Directions:
1. Draw your rainbow or use the rainbow template as a guide.
2. Cut out your rainbow. There should be 3 pieces.
3. Paint your rainbow. Allow paint to dry completely before painting the other side.
4. Using a paper clip, straighten the wire and then fold in half and twist together to make your “needle”.
5. Tie a knot on one end of your yarn. May want to triple knot so it won’t go through the cardboard.
6. Thread your yarn through the “eye of the needle” and insert into the center cardboard of the bottom portion of the rainbow, working your way up into the top portion of the rainbow.
7. Knot your yarn to create a loop on top for hanging. Cut any excess yarn.
8. Hang in your window for all those who pass by to see!
