[Simple & Cute] Let's Make a Christmas Wreath with Paper Plates! (1–10)
Shaka-Shaka Christmas Wreath

Here’s how to make an easy, shaker-style Christmas decoration using a paper plate! You will need: one Christmas-themed paper plate, colored construction paper, a clear plastic pocket, foam beads, sequins, ribbon, and wood glue.
First, cut the colored construction paper to fit the paper plate.
Apply wood glue around the rim of the plate, and place sequins and foam beads inside the plate.
Stick the clear pocket on top and trim it to match the plate.
Finally, cut the colored paper to match the rim shape and glue it on to finish.
Feel free to get creative with what you put inside and make your own original wreath!
3D wreath: just cut and paste

Here’s how to make a Christmas wreath easily by just cutting and pasting! You’ll need a paper plate, construction paper, decorations, ribbon, string, double-sided tape, glue, and wood glue.
First, cut a hole in the center of the paper plate.
Next, cut the construction paper into long strips.
Attach the strips so that they tuck under and over the edge of the plate as you go.
Trim the ends of the strips diagonally and decorate using wood glue.
Stick on the ribbon with double-sided tape, tie on the string, and you’re done! Decorations made from origami also look super cute.
A wreath made with a paper plate and yarn

We’ll show you how to make a cute Christmas wreath using a paper plate and yarn! You’ll need a paper plate, decorations like beads and buttons, yarn, and a hot glue gun or wood glue.
First, cut out the center of the paper plate and wrap it with yarn.
Wrap it so there are no gaps, then use glue to attach any decorations you like.
Use the cut-out center to make a smaller wreath in the same way.
Finally, add a length of yarn to both as an ornament hanger, and you’re done.
Try using different colored yarns to make it!

A wreath decorated with origami Christmas bells

Many people prepare paper plates for Christmas parties, but if you “don’t want any leftovers,” why not make a paper plate wreath to hang on the wall? It’s also a great craft to do with young children! Fold a paper plate in half and cut it to make the wreath base.
Paint it green, then tear and stick on origami paper, and add pompoms or yarn to make it look like a real wreath.
When using glue or paste, be careful to prevent children from accidentally swallowing it.
Punch a hole at the top and thread a ribbon through, and it will transform into a lovely wall decoration.
A glittery tinsel wreath

Using sparkly gold and silver tinsel pipe cleaners, this is a cute Christmas wreath made from a paper plate.
You’ll need: a paper plate, sparkly pipe cleaners, ribbon, round stickers, white and light-blue construction paper, double-sided tape, a craft punch, green paint, a craft knife, scissors, and an awl.
First, cut a circular hole out of the center of the paper plate and paint it green.
Next, form the silver sparkly pipe cleaner into a ring and attach it with double-sided tape.
Decorate it with shapes made using the craft punch and with round stickers.
Finally, tie on the gold sparkly pipe cleaner and add a ribbon to finish.
It’s vibrant and instantly puts you in a festive mood!
Santa wreath

If you make a cute mask out of a paper plate, it would be a hit at parties and other events.
For this craft, the key is to cut out the eye area of the paper plate and crumple tissue paper around it to create Santa’s beard.
Be careful not to use too much glue when attaching the tissue paper.
Finish by adding a round pom-pom for the nose and cheeks.
For the handle, try using a straw or a disposable chopstick.
You could also make other animals with paper plates, like a reindeer, panda, or rabbit—they’d be adorable too.
Reindeer and Santa wreath-style decoration

It’s exciting to be able to make a cute Christmas wreath with just one paper plate, isn’t it? With this paper plate wreath, you can even create a reindeer or Santa.
Cut a circle out of the center of the paper plate, but leave the top part uncut so it stays connected—that’s the key point.
After cutting out the center, glue torn pieces of origami paper around the rim of the plate.
You can mix colors as you like—blending different shades can look really cute.
Attach the reindeer’s eyes and nose, and you’re done.
Let’s liven up Christmas with a fun paper plate craft!
