🖍️ Supplies needed
For this paper plate wreath, you will need:
- Paper plates: When buying paper plates for crafts, I recommend getting the uncoated kind so paint or crayon adhere to it better.
- Scissors: If you are doing this activity with toddlers be sure to use plastic safety scissors or cut the art for them.
- Glue: My son thought our glue needed some eye stickers in case you were wondering! You can also use a glue stick or tape.
- Crayons, markers, or paint: We used all crayon for our wreaths but you can use paint or markers too. You could even use a combination of different art supplies like paint for the paper plate and colored pencils for the art.
- A pipe cleaner or string and tape (optional): To affix to the back of the wreath to be able to hang it up.
- Printable art: The printable art was drawn by me and is available to download below.

Next, fold your paper plate in half and cut a hole in the middle (image 2).
