Meaning of the Advent Wreath

An Advent wreath has multiple parts:

• the circle (of evergreens) – which symbolize God’s unending love
• three purple candles – the color purple symbolizes repentance and fasting. Its good to prepare our hearts for the coming of the baby Jesus.
• the pink candle – lit on the third week of Advent signifies “hope”.
• the white candle – sometimes there is a white candle at the center of the wreath. It’s called the Christ candle and is lit on Christmas day.

Step 2: Cut Out the Advent Wreath Craft Shapes

Print the Advent Wreath templates. You will be stapling them to colored paper and cutting out as many shapes as you need.

If you want to make this craft with a group of kids, you can staple the template to up to 10 sheets of copy paper, 5 sheets of cardstock or 5-8 sheets of construction paper.

So, did you know, you can staple together 10 pieces of copy paper and cut out 10 shapes at a time?! That’s my SECRET to fast & easy crafting.

Stapling the paper is very important because it makes sure it doesn’t move as you cut. The more staples the better. Cardstock is the thickest so you may only be able to cut 5 sheets at a time.

Tip: While you’re cutting, if you cut off all parts of the pages that have staples, make sure to re-staple the sheets that are left.

Whenever you’re cutting multiple sheets at a time, make sure they are always stapled together.

Step 3: How to Assemble

The kids will just need to glue it all together and make it their own.

1. Glue the white circle into the middle of the green circle. This makes it look like a wreath and you don’t have to cut out the middle. How cool is that?!
2. Glue on the candles. Remember the pink candle is for the third week.
3. You can glue on the flames immediately, or glue them on each week of Advent.
4. Optional: Use markers, stickers, holly pieces from the craft store, simple bows, or any other embellishments to decorate your wreath.
5. Don’t forget to put your name on the back.

Step 1: Glue the white circle into the middle of the green circle. This makes it look like a wreath and you don’t have to cut out the middle.

step 2: Glue on the paper candles. Remember the pink candle is for the third week.
