TOOLS

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!
