When my daughter was 8 or 9 years old, I had a Christmas sewing/craft party for her and 5 or 6 friends. I had a SIL and another friend help me. While some of the kids painted plaster ornaments I got at Michaels the others worked on making wreaths. I got styrofoam wreaths and made sleeves by using a long length of fabric. For the width, I measured the diameter of the wreath, added about 3/4" to accommodate the bulk, added 1" (for 1/2" seam allowance), and about 5 inches (two 2 1/2" ruffles on each each side of the styrofoam form). The kids only had to sew the seam allowance, then it was turned and pressed (by adults) with the seam in the center (will be on back and not seen) and then the kids sewed two seams for the ruffles. I put tape on the sewing machine to make it easier for them to get a straight line. The center part was then put (carefully) on the form which I cut and finished with a bow. I made a hanger with thin wire. It was easy and a lot of fun. Kids loved it.
