✂️ How to make (step by step guide)
Paint or color a paper plate with markers or crayons (image 1). I recommend using an uncoated paper plate so it’s easier to paint or color in.
Next, cut a hole in the middle of the plate (image 2). Color and cut out the printable art (image 3). Next, tape or glue the art to the wreath (image 4).
If you like you can add a hole punch at the top and loop a piece of string or a pipe cleaner through. This will allow you to hang the wreath up.
⭐ Tips
- You can punch a hole in the top and loop a string through to hang this wreath up.
- Add your own creative flair with things like stickers, glitter, or whatever else you might have in your craft supply basket.
- We used crayons to keep the mess low.
- If doing this craft with very young children, cut the art out for them or have them leave a lot of white space around it.
