Wreath made with paper plates
Let’s enjoy making wreaths by freely decorating paper plates.
As preparation, please cut out a circle from the center of each paper plate.
Have the children draw with crayons or glue on torn pieces of origami paper.
Using round stickers is also a great idea.
Babies around 0 years old tend to put things in their mouths, so avoid using items like beads or nuts that they might ingest.
Each child’s one-of-a-kind wreath, expressing their own world, will surely become a treasured keepsake for their caregivers.
Paper plate wreath
Paper-plate wreaths are a fun DIY party decoration, and they’re highly recommended because the materials are easy to gather and the steps are simple.
Just cut out the center of a paper plate to make a ring for the base, then attach construction-paper strips or yarn to create a unique wreath.
You can also trace and cut out children’s handprints and paste them on to make a one-of-a-kind wreath in the whole world.
It will be a memorable keepsake.
If you use scissors or a craft knife for the cutting, please have an adult help.
100-yen store wreath
This is a Christmas wreath you can make entirely with items from a 100-yen shop, from the wreath base to the decorations.
Since 100-yen shops now carry a wide variety of items, you can go for a cute look or a glamorous one.
Because the materials are relatively inexpensive, you can customize it as much as you like.
However, you will need a hot glue gun for the decorations, so an adult should assist during the crafting.
It’s a highly recommended Christmas wreath that’s fun to make with friends at daycare or kindergarten.
Crinkly wreath
A crinkly wreath that makes Christmas decorating even more fun.
It’s a great idea for kids to enjoy their own creative expression! First, roll up newspaper into stick shapes, connect them, wrap them with colored construction paper, and form them into a wreath.
Add round-cut origami pieces, sequins, and beads to create a one-of-a-kind wreath! You can also place Santa, reindeer, bells, stars, and more in the center to enjoy extra decorating.
Displaying wreaths made by the kids themselves in your room will make the time leading up to Christmas even more exciting.
A wreath made from sweet potato vines
Why not make a natural-looking Christmas wreath using sweet potato vines? Even if you don’t have sweet potato vines, any climbing plant will work! First, shape the vine into a ring to form the base of the wreath.
The key is to work the vine before it dries and to wrap the ring at least three times.
Tuck the end between the vines and let it dry thoroughly to finish! To heighten the Christmas mood, try decorating it with pinecones or acorns the kids have collected.
Another plus is that by changing the decorations, you can use the wreath not only for Christmas but also for a wide range of events like Halloween or New Year’s.
