Our Tips
- Small kids might need a grownup’s help cutting out the shakas.
- Every year, trace your keiki’s growing hands. Mark with the date and add to the wreath so your holiday tradition grows!
- We bought a foam circle wreath base from a craft store and secured it to the back for added stability.
