Christmas wreaths to make in childcare! A collection of handmade ideas to enjoy with children (1–10)
Toilet paper roll wreath
This is a Christmas wreath decorated using cross-sections of toilet paper rolls cut into rings.
After flattening the roll, cut it into rings, paint them, and attach colored paper to the bottoms; connect them into a circle to create a striking wreath base.
However, forming a neat circle takes a bit of skill, so if it seems difficult for children to do on their own, adults should lend a hand.
Adding decorations like beads and nuts gives it even more dimension, which is highly recommended.
It’s a wreath that’s sure to stand out and catch the eye at events.
A Christmas wreath that’s fun to make
https://www.tiktok.com/@rinmama_handmade/video/7426360008524238088Here’s a cute Christmas wreath project that you’ll find yourself totally absorbed in making.
Prepare some paper clay, tissue paper, and fabric scraps.
Shape the paper clay into a wreath, then use a stick with a rounded, slightly pointed tip to press the tissue paper and fabric into the clay so there are no gaps.
This step is where kids really get hooked and have a blast! Once you’re done, let it dry and decorate it with bells and ribbons.
It’s a craft that lets you enjoy the soft, pleasant feel of the clay while you work.
Give it a try!
Snowman wreath made with decoration balls
It’s a cute, wintery wreath that really brings out the warmth of the decoration balls, isn’t it? For this wreath, you’ll thread the decoration balls onto a wire.
Once they’re on, shape the wire into a circle to form the wreath.
Adjust the colors of the decoration balls to your liking to make it feel original and more vibrant.
Threading string through white decoration balls to make a little snowman is adorable, too.
Have fun decorating it with sparkly beads, nuts, ribbons, and more!
Bill of exchange lease
This is a wreath finished in a shape that looks like leaves spreading out, made by stamping handprints on construction paper and attaching them to a paper plate.
Since you’ll layer the handprints as you glue them on, it’s smoother if you prepare a good number of handprints in advance.
Also, gather a variety of materials so you can put care into the decorations you add on top of the handprints.
It would be nice if it captures the fun atmosphere of Christmas.
The classic color scheme that conveys a leafy feel is green handprints on green construction paper, but it could be fun to change up the color combinations to create a wreath with a different impression.
Christmas wreath made with tissue paper
Wreath making that lets you enjoy finger play at the same time is great for little kids, too.
Cut a wreath base out of construction paper or a paper plate.
Put double-sided tape on the cut base, then stick on crumpled tissue paper.
Crumpling the tissue paper adds a nice three-dimensional look to the wreath, so it’s recommended.
For decorations, you can add craft pom-poms, felt, beads, or ribbons to make it extra cute.
Give it a try and create your own adorable, original wreath!
Wreath made from fabric scraps
Let me introduce a super-cute wreath that really pops thanks to its fabric patterns and colors.
This wreath is made using a round Styrofoam wreath form as the base.
The key step that sets the overall look is inserting squares of fabric—cut into small, even squares—into the Styrofoam using a toothpick.
Try to place them as close together as possible to avoid gaps.
Using a variety of fabric patterns will make the design stand out even more, so it’s highly recommended.
Once it’s finished, add a big ribbon and some beads to make it extra festive and eye-catching.
Origami Christmas wreath
Three-dimensional origami wreaths have a unique, cute look, don’t they? Apply glue to the edge of an origami sheet cut in half, fold it vertically in half, then stick it together so it forms a teardrop shape, and cut it into about four equal parts.
Draw a circle on construction paper and glue on the cut origami pieces in the shape of a wreath—this is the key step.
Keep an eye on the overall balance and attach the pieces so the shape is even.
Decorate with a ribbon, craft pom-poms, or beads to finish.
Cutting and gluing the origami can be fun too, so give it a try!
