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. I love Christmas in July, it's the perfect time of year to knock out a few winter projects so they are ready to go in December...or November, if you are like me! Make a bunch of these this week and store them in a garbage bag in the loft until it's time to decorate for the holidays. *UPDATED, original post was in 2016, with a couple blog updates along the way.
