Wood Slice Wreath for Winter

A winter wreath isn't always the easiest to craft. This year I made a wreath using wood slices whose original use was in my classroom. In the past I used these to teach kids about counting rings, why the rings have two colors, and why some years the rings are thicker than others. This content is no longer taught, so rather than have a bag of wood slices clutter a cabinet in my room, I used them to make a wreath.
I started by wrapping a wire wreath form with batting and then strips of brown fabric that I glued down with a glue gun. Wooden slices were then glued in place followed by gluing Curly Willow branches from by yard to the back of the wreath.
Wood slices have natural beauty. Aren't these rings pretty?
Even though I'm sad that Christmas is over, I'm happy to have a pretty wreath on my door for January.
