Tissue Paper Christmas Wreath
This craft reminds me of my childhood, as I remember making collages with scrunched up pieces of tissue paper as far back as when I was in nursery school!
It’s one of those simple crafts that all ages can enjoy – from kids through to seniors, and if you’re having a family crafternoon, add this tissue paper Christmas wreath to the crafts that you make.
Once you have a base layer of green tissue paper for the wreath, you can decorate it any way you like – with red tissue paper berries like I did; or with stickers, glitter glue, sequins, or foam shapes.

Tissue Paper Christmas Wreath
Materials
- Paper plate
- Red ribbon
- Green tissue paper
- Red tissue paper
TOOLS
- White/PVA school glue
Instructions
- Cut the center out from the paper plate – a job best left to the adults if small children are making this wreath.
- Tie the ribbon around the top of the plate. Leave about a 10cm/4" gap and tie another knot – this is your loop to hang the wreath. Cut off the excess ribbon and save it to tie a bow when the wreath is complete.
- Tear up small squares (about 3cm/1.5") of green tissue paper and scrunch them up loosely. They don't all have to be exactly the same size. If anything, different sizes, and wispy bits make the wreath look a bit more real!
- Apply glue to the front of the paper plate in sections, pressing each piece of scrunched-up tissue paper in place. Continue all the way around, covering the ribbon too. Leave to dry for a couple of hours.
- Make some berries by rolling up some smaller pieces of red tissue paper into little balls. Apply to the green layer with glue and leave to dry.
- Tie a bow around the based of the hanging loop.
- You’re ready to hang up your wreath for all to see!
