We absolutely love doing Paper Plate Crafts and this New Years themed paper plate craft is so fun and festive. It is a great craft idea to celebrate the end of the year and bring in the new year. To be honest, we never stay up to midnight but we love a good Noon Year’s Eve party! Have you heard of it before? It’s where kids celebrate at noon instead of staying up until midnight. In my opinion, it is the perfect way to celebrate with little ones.

💭 Why you’ll love this

  • Easy: This is an easy craft to set up with just a few basic craft supplies needed.
  • Perfect for a variety of ages: This is a great craft for toddlers all the way to elementary aged children.
  • Creative fun: This craft is a great way for kids to get creative. You can use paint, crayons, markers, stickers, glitter, or really whatever is in your craft basket!

🖍️ Supplies needed

For this craft, you will need:

  • Paper plate: I recommend using an uncoated paper plate. The uncoated ones are better for crafts because they absorb crayons, markers, or paint better.
  • Printable art: See the printable PDF further below in the post.
  • Scissors: If doing this craft with very young children you can either cut the art out for them or you can have them use safety scissors.
  • Crayons, markers or paint: For the paper plate and for the printable art.
  • Glue stick: Or you can use tape or regular glue.
  • Hole puncher and string: This is optional but great if you’d like to hang the wreath up.

✂️ How to make (step by step guide)

Begin by coloring a paper paint with crayons, markers or paint (image 1). Next, cut a circle out of the middle of the plate to make it into a wreath (image 2).

Color the printable art in and cut it out (image 3). Tape or glue the art to the wreath (image 4).

If you’d like you can add a hole punch at the top with a piece of string or pipe cleaner so that you can hang the wreath up.

⭐ Tips

If doing this craft with very small children either have them use safety scissors and leave white space around the printable art or cut the art out for them.

You can add a hole punch at the top of wreath and hang it up as a decoration.
