You must never feel badly about making mistakes … as long as you take the trouble to learn from them. For you often learn more by being wrong for the right reasons than you do by being right for the wrong reasons. - Norton Juster, The Phantom Tollbooth

Kids Craft: Holly & Berries Wreath Card


For the Silly Penguins Winter Greeting Card, we had used a McGill Holly & Berries Paper Punch I had found for $2.99 at a neighborhood store. This punch makes a bow, a sock, a star, 2 holly leaves and berries of different sizes.

We had used some of the bows and socks for the Silly Penguins and had a bunch of Holly leaves punched out and ready to use. And that's how these cards came about.


Now, this is not an original idea - it was inspired by the picture that came on the package of the Holly & Berries Paper Punch. Ana saw the package picture and decided to make a few of her own to give to her friends/teachers.

Items Used: Cut/punched out from various colored construction papers - holly leaves in two different sizes, berries in red, bows,stars, glue stick, white card stock paper cut to the size of the greeting card and folded.

Draw a circle on the card stock paper. Glue the leaves, in layers, along the circle. Add berries and a bow. Et Voilá!
