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!
