Dear makers full of holiday magic,

Welcome to day 26. As promised here is one of five more amazing bonus maker projects. I simply could not be more full of joy than knowing that we have more projects to share.

As you hopefully rest on this day after the holiday and take some time to relax and enjoy quiet, calm, and peace, it is good to know your resources are piling up with many new ideas.

This project comes from Jennifer Bond. She is a third grade teacher who I have connected with and learned a great deal from over on our Makerspace Voxer group. I was so happy when she said she would share a project. This project is one she does with her third graders so we hope you enjoy another low cost, but very effective maker project!

Create

So what about the project today? Day 26 is a project that with some plastic bags and inexpensive wire you can have students making and designing some really nice looking wreaths for the learning space or as a gift to take home. Give it a shot over break! You might just find a new little project to introduce to your students.

Share

Add your project or any other projects you are working on through these options to share how you approached today’s challenge or the one from yesterday. Then, check out and comment on some other examples when they are shared.

Besides using the hashtag #25daysofmaking on Instagram and Twitter I am also posting the projects over on Facebook so you can interact on this platform as well.

Finally, don’t forget to head over to Flipgrid and introduce yourself and/or your students!

Reflect

This element is important! Don’t neglect reflection on your own learning. We must be lifelong learners and be models to our students.

Take a moment to reflect on your creative process by sharing with the hashtags and other mediums. Let us start a conversation about this concept. How did remixing help you? What questions do you still have about remixing?
