Make your own Advent Wreath with Salt Dough!
Make an Advent Wreath that you can use for years to come! A great family activity. Make one large one together or individual small ones with birthday candles.
Here’s the one my family made probably 15 years ago:
- The wreath requires simple ingredients, some manual labour to knead and shape, your creativity to make it your own, and then patience for it to bake (which really is drying).
- Colour the dough before you bake, or paint after, or go natural.
- Salt dough can be used to make decorations, or an “Advent Spiral” as a count down to Christmas.
- Have fun!
