Heart wreath

This is a wreath where you decorate a heart-shaped paper plate base with soft, three-dimensional floral motifs.

If you’re making it with a Christmas theme, it’s recommended to create the flowers in Christmas colors and arrange them in a balanced way.

First, cut out the center of the paper plate, leaving the outer ring, and trim the top and bottom slightly to form a heart shape.

For the flower pieces, accordion-fold tissue paper, tie the middle with a plastic string, trim the ends, then fan it out and shape it.

Once the flower pieces are ready, attach them to the heart-shaped base to finish.

It’s best to pay attention to layering the flowers so there are no gaps and to achieve a dimensional look.

Poinsettia wreath

Let’s make a poinsettia wreath using a paper plate.

Cut out a circle from the center and use the outer ring as the wreath base.

Then, glue on poinsettias made from origami paper to complete your Christmas wreath.

If you make leaves in various sizes and attach them so they spread out from the base, it will look more realistic.

Don’t forget the yellow center, too.

You can also create wreaths for other seasons by adding seasonal flowers, not just for Christmas.

This is a great activity to enjoy with your child on a chilly day at home—give it a try together.

A wreath made with lace paper

How about making a festive paper-plate wreath using lace? You’ll need: a paper plate, ribbon, a green marker or paint, glue, lace, and decorations like a Santa Claus.

First, color the outer ridged part of the paper plate green.

Next, attach a ribbon at the very top.

Then spread glue on a round paper doily and stick it onto the plate.

Finally, add decorations such as an origami Santa—folded into a triangle with a drawn face—and you’re done.

It’s a wreath you can make easily without even cutting out the center, which is a nice plus!

Using yarn for a paper-plate craft gives it that uniquely warm Christmas feel.

For this project, cut the center of a paper plate into a tree shape and thread yarn through it.

It’s best to use plenty of yarn so the tree looks fuller and cuter.

Once you decorate the edges with pom-poms or sparkly stickers, it’s complete.

It looks adorable hung on the wall or displayed on a surface.

You could also try cutting out shapes other than a tree—like Santa or stars—for a charming variation.
