Cut out three leaf shapes from a folded serviette. You can also use crepe paper or red cloth or paper painted red. Or try making the potato stamp version and simply glue or staple the cutouts on. ***See potato stamp instructions and the end of this lesson.

Cut a split in the base of each leaf shape

Tie a triple knot in the centre of a black pipe cleaner.
Or you could use black wool or a black shoe lace.

Wrap the knotted tie around the red cut out.
Gather and twist at the back.

   

Make two holes in the plate for each pea.
Thread the ties through the holes.
Twist at the back and cut away the excess.

 

Arrange the peas in groups of two or three around the rim leaving room for the leaves.
Staple fresh leaves in between the pea groups all the way around.

Add a string to hang the wreath on your door or letterbox.

This place honours the 300,000, or more Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders who died during European settlement of the nation we now call Australia.

With respect to the First Peoples on whose land their blood was shed by invasion. We will remember them. Lest we forget all who died on, and for country. © Hazel Davies 2020 MakingPeasce.com
