Fly a Kite Spring Wreath from Socks

Make this easy spring wreath using socks and a few craft supplies. This is a fun project you can make with kids and customize it however you want!

Use a knife or saw to separate your wreath in one area.
Cut the tops of your socks off as shown.
Start putting the socks over the wreath. Just work them over just like you were putting them on your leg. Putting them on stripes-side first works best.
You are going to put the stripes of the next sock over the now raw cut edge of the sock before it.
Eventually you will have a complete and finished looking wreath. All of this took maybe 10 minutes! This is an extremely quick and easy method for getting a cute wreath base.
Then you can add some paper embellishments using your Cricut.
I decided on a kite craft theme for my wreath after finding the “Let’s Go Fly a Kite” graphic below in my scrapbook stash. I used a few other paper elements plus some baker’s twine and washi tape.
Cricut Design Space Instructions
Find a design that you like in Cricut Design Space. You can find a kite and fun shapes, similar to what I used here.
I also used some scalloped edges. Follow the on-screen instructions to cut the various pieces.
The “kite” went on the side of the wreath with a baker’s twine string. You can use whatever you have on hand for the tail. I actually used a piece of washi tape but ribbon will absolutely work. Everything was added to the spring wreath with hot glue.
I then added a few paper scallop circles with my graphic on top. Again putting them on with hot glue.
Now just add some ribbon to the top to hang and this one is ready to go on your door.
