3 Homemade Wreath Paper Plate Crafts

As long as you’re decking the halls this season, how about some cute wreaths to decorate the doors?

These 3 paper plate Christmas wreaths  are fun kids Christmas crafts that are perfect for decorating with this season.

Paper Plate Christmas Wreaths

Each of these homemade wreaths starts out with a paper plate that has the center cut out of it.

You can find all the directions below.

Tissue Paper Christmas Wreath

For the tissue paper wreath, cut up 1 inch squares of green tissue paper ahead of time.  Use a paint brush to spread glue along the paper plate.

Then have the kids stick the tissue paper square on the end of a pencil and  twist it so the wreath becomes 3-Dimensional.  (For younger children you can have them cover the wreath with the tissue paper squares without twisting them on the pencil.)

Once the plate is covered, add some red pom-poms.

Yarn Wrapped Wreath

For the yarn wreath, tie one end of approximately 1 foot of green yarn to the paper plate.

Have your child wrap the yarn around the wreath.

When they run out of yarn, simply tie more on.   (Using the shorter length helps them not get tangled up as much.)

When finished, glue a few red pom-poms to this paper plate wreath as well.

Paper Plate Advent Wreath

The last wreath we made is a simple Advent wreath.  I remember having an Advent wreath on the table as a child.  Each week my mom would light a new candle.

Once again, start with a paper plate with the center cut out.

Cover the plate with squares of green tissue paper.

The candles are made up of 3 strips of purple paper (about 3 inches long) and one pink strip (the last week of Advent).  We made 4 yellow flames to glue to the “candles” as the weeks go by.

This year, don’t just deck the halls with an expensive store bought wreath.  Let the kids make a few paper plate Christmas wreaths to help deck the halls.
