Is it winter already? Oh my gosh, it is and it’s our favorite holiday, Christmas. Who doesn’t love Christmas and Christmas crafts? What a wonderful time, right?

Sit in a warm house next to a giant sparkling fully decorated Christmas tree, eat crackers and receive wonderful gifts from loved ones.

And what could be more satisfying than making your own Christmas decorations and hanging them around the house?

And today’s project will be making a Christmas wreath from paper plates.

How to make a Christmas wreath with paper plates

What you need:

• a paper plate
• some green acrylic paint
• watercolor (brown, red)
• colored pencils (yellow, orange, red, brown)
• pom pom (green, red and white)
• plastic beads (silver, gold and red)
• five green feathers
• a red bow
• a red self-adhesive foam sheet
• a green self-adhesive foam sheet
• one star punching machine
• drag
• glue
• a broom
• oak leaves and a candle (from the provided printable PDF)
• two self adhesive googly eyes
• a green velvet bar

Step by step instructions

Use scissors to cut a circle in the middle of the paper plate.

Paint the rest of the paper plate with green acrylic paint.

Print and cut out oak leaves and candles (using cardboard).

First, color them with watercolors, then use colored pencils to color their edges.

Sketch them out clearly…

…and use a colored pencil to create a little shadow along the edges…

…to keep them looking neat.

Glue oak leaves to the wreath…

…then apply some glue to the candle and place it in the middle of the wreath.

Take the oak leaf shaped like a Christmas hat and glue it to the front of the candle.

Place two round eyes on the main oak leaf with the cap.

Apply a little glue to the tassels and arrange them around the wreath.

Apply some glue to the green feathers and arrange them around the wreath, leaving even spaces between them as shown in the picture.

Use a star punch to cut out some green and red stars from self-adhesive foam and place the stars onto the wreath.

Glue as many plastic beads around the wreath as desired.

Take a green cotton stick, shape it like a water drop and twist the top…

…then glue it to the back of the paper plate.

Take the red bow, put some glue on the back of it and stick it to the top of the paper plate, in the middle.

Finished!
