Suggested Family Activity 🎄 Holiday Wreath & Tree Crafts

Published by Library Staff on

Make a holiday wreath out of a plain white paper pate by cutting out the middle of the plate in a circle so that the plate becomes a wreath.  If you need a little help drawing a circle, use a smaller plate to draw around to create the opening.  Color the wreath a solid color and then decorate on top of that with small artificial flowers (easily found at places like the Dollar Tree), stickers, designs cut from magazines or old greeting cards, or any other craft supplies you have.

Turn a paper plate into a Christmas tree by cutting it apart into 3 wedges (imagine a watermelon slice).  Glue the wedge pieces on top of each other with the fluted part of the plate pointing down and the pointy piece on the top.  Then color the tree green and decorate it with stickers, sequins, beads, or any other craft supplies.  You can also draw ornaments on a piece of paper and cut them out to glue on the tree.  Using a piece of brown paper, finish off your tree with a square shaped piece on the bottom for the trunk.
