Christmas Craft Projects - Advent Wreath In Germany, most homes have an advent wreath on their tables in December. On these wreaths are 4 candles to represent the 4 Sundays before Christmas. On the 4th Sunday before Christmas, the first candle gets lit. And each Sunday afterwards, another candle gets also lit. Therefore, on the last Sunday before Christmas, all 4 candles are burning. Normally the families sit with their children around the table and sing Christmas songs and enjoy the time together. It is also a time for meditating, a time for remembering, a time for praying and a time for peace.It is a wonderful tradition. One sees the advent wreaths not only in the homes, but in churches and often in other public buildings and offices. Decorate the wreath with ribbon, nuts, cinnamon sticks, dried apple and orange slices, pine cones and other natural items. It looks more traditional when the look is kept natural.   Home Spring Crafts and Easter Crafts   >> Paper Crafts   >> Wood Crafts   >> Crafts for Kids   >> Christmas Cards   >> Textile Crafts   >> General Crafts   >> Craft Patterns   >> Valentine Crafts   >> Easter Bunny Crafts   >> Easter Chick Crafts Summer Crafts   >> Paper Crafts   >> Wood Crafts   >> Crafts for Kids   >> Birthday Cards   >> Textile Crafts   >> General Crafts   >> Craft Patterns   >> Maritime Crafts   >> Patriotic Crafts  Autumn Crafts   >> Paper Crafts   >> Wood Crafts   >> Crafts for Kids   >> Greeting Cards   >> Textile Crafts   >> General Crafts   >> Craft Patterns   >> Pumpkin Crafts   >> Halloween Crafts   >> Leaf Crafts   >> Thanksgiving Crafts Christmas and Winter Crafts   >> Paper Crafts   >> Wood Crafts   >> Crafts for Kids   >> Christmas Cards   >> Textile Crafts   >> General Crafts   >> Craft Patterns   >> Snowman Crafts   >> Santa Claus Crafts   >> Gingerbread Crafts   >> Christmas Projects Greeting Cards and Birthday Cards   >> Spring   >> Summer   >> Fall   >> Winter Paper Crafts    >> Spring    >> Summer    >> Fall    >> Winter    >> Paper Craft Tips    >> ATC    >> Tags    >> Kids Paper Crafts Wood Crafts    >> Spring    >> Summer    >> Fall    >> Winter  General Crafts    >> Spring    >> Summer    >> Fall    >> Winter    >> Jewelry Crafts    >> Recycling Crafts    >> Nature Crafts    >> Craft Recipes  Kids Crafts    >> Spring    >> Summer    >> Fall    >> Winter    >> Clay Pot Crafts    >> Fuse Beads Crafts Fabric and Sewing Crafts    >> Spring    >> Summer    >> Fall    >> Winter    >> Felt Crafts Craft Patterns Craft Tutorials 1 Craft Tutorials 2 Newsletter Picture Gallery Contact Links Sitemap All patterns, pictures and text found on Craftideas.info are property of this website and may be only printed out and used for private or non-commercial purposes.

For this project you will need: - Any size of straw wreath - four candles in your choice of color - florist wire - cinnamon sticks - dried orange or apple slices - nuts - pinecones - ribbon   Instructions: This wreath is made using the technique below. Once the greenery is on the wreath, take 4 thicker pieces of wire measuring about 6 inches and make one end hot on each piece. The hot end gets inserted into the bottom of a thick candle. Make 3 more pieces into this candle. The other ends get then stuck into the wreath. If it comes out through the back, bend the end so that it lies flat on the wreath. Otherwise it could scratch your table. Continue these steps also with the other candles. They will stand proper on the wreaths without the danger of falling over.
