Students will love this easy-to-make Christmas wreath – inspired by current Australian craft makers.

Step 1. Paint three Wooden Australian Gum Hangers on both sides with the Watercolour Paint Discs. Vary the colour saturation by using more water for a stained watercolour look or less water and more pigmented strokes for a richer finish.

NB: Further embellish the native shapes with markers, Poscas or Zart Metallic Markers.

Step 2. Decorate the wooden beads with the Watercolour Paint Discs.

Step 3. Cut a piece of Craft Wire (approximately 45cm long). Shape the wire into a hoop and thread the wooden beads on. Close the hoop by hooking the wire ends together and twisting to lock in place.

Step 4. String the Gum Hangers from the wire hoop. Cut lengths of string (15-25cm) and tie between the wooden beads. Thread the other end through the Gum Hangers and tie to secure.
