Eco- Friendly Advent wreath

       The Advent Wreath is an important symbol of Advent of the season. It usually sits on the dinner table and is a constant reminder of the holy season.
    The Advent wreath is a circular garland of evergreen branches representing eternity. On that wreath, four candles are typically arranged.They represent the four weeks of preparation. During the season of Advent one candle on the wreath is lit each Sunday. Each candle represents an aspect of the spiritual preparation for the coming of the Lord. 

The meaning of the candles is as follows:
First candle: represents hope.
Second Candle: stands for love.
Third candle: represents joy.
Fourth candle: is a symbol of peace. 
      
     But now I will show you an unusual Advent wreath. It is a McDonald's cup holder wreath! Very easy, very cheap and very fun project to achieve. So let's all recycle!
All you need is:
McDonald's cup holder
Pine branches
Some ribbons and four candles
        Less talking and more working! Let's get started and I hope you all have a great time crafting!
Secure the branches to the cup holder with the ribbon.
Strawberry Love Tip: Spray the wreath with hairspray to help hold the branches in place and preserve their color.
As a final touch add a purple ribbon and you are done!



I told you that it will be easy!

XOXO,
Reny
