Craft Corner: Back-to-School Crayon Wreath

🎒 Cool Craft for Back to School

By Kyetra Bolton, Palm Coast Publisher August 8, 2012


What better time of the year to use crayons than Back to School? I got packs of 24 for just a quarter each and it only took 2 1/2 boxes to make this adorable wreath!

What You Need:

  • A wooden 12-inch floral/craft ring
  • Three 24 packs of crayons
  • Hot glue gun and glue
  • Ribbon
  • Embellishments, if desired
  • Paint, if desired

What You Do:

1. Start by painting the wooden craft ring. I used spray paint in red. After putting the crayons on you can barely see the ring, so it is not totally needed.

2. Start to hot glue the crayons on. It is very important that you let the crayons touch on their bottoms, but spread apart on the top. It is the only way that they will make a circle. I did one crayon at a time and alternated the colors.

3. Once the crayons are on, place the ribbon where you would like it and tie a bow. If you are adding an embellishment, just hot glue it on. I got the wooden apple and a little bus at my local craft store. It was less than a dollar for both.
