How to Make a DIY Sandwich Bag Wreath (Plastic Bags)

How to Make a DIY Sandwich Bag Wreath! This fun and festive sandwich bag wreath is perfect for outdoor decoration...hang on the fence, front door or even hang in the trees!   This is a simple craft that is great for having lots of helpers.  Teach kids how to tie a simple overhand knot in a format that is much more fun than just tying and untying.  Using an inexpensive box of sandwich bags to create a wreath that will look very snow-like and handle winter weather outdoors, is super economical.
