Five Candles Advent Wreath

The Advent wreath is a Christian tradition that symbolizes the passage of the four weeks leading up to Christmas. On that wreath, five candles are typically arranged. During the season of Advent one candle on the wreath is lit each Sunday as a part of the Advent services. Each candle represents an aspect of the spiritual preparation for the coming of the Lord, Jesus Christ.

Cut out multiple hand shapes from green Kinder Squares and Cover Paper.

Step 2
Roll rectangles of Cover Paper into 5 cylinders, flange one end of each cylinder and glue these onto a Paper Plate.

Step 3
Cover a Paper Plate with overlapping hand shapes, start at the outer perimeter and glue the hands all facing outwards as you work towards the centre of the plate. Completely cover the plate and flanged ends of the candles.

Glue on some Glitter Pom Poms.

Step 5
Scrunch up some red Cellophane to push into the top of each of the cylinders to represent the lit candles.
