Weather you have a classroom full of kids or just one of your own this fun project will not only make a lovely decoration for your Christmas tree but also a wonderful memory. I’m rubbish at cooking with the kids but give me crepe paper and glitter and everyone wins, plus there is no cranky sugar crash to deal with later. Let’s make a festive Christmas wreath ornament! Check out the easy to follow video!
You will need:
Crepe paper party streamers (2 rolls for $1 at Dollar Tree) or green tissue paper
white glue
green paper
ribbon or yarn
scissors
pencil or marker
sequins or pom-poms (for decorations)
Optional (circle cutter): Grown ups need to cut the inner circle of the ornament so a circle cutter is great to have or you can get crafty with the scissors!
Directions: Parents, remember ABP when crafting with kids (always be prepared!) Have supplies out, tissue paper squares cut and the inner circle of the wreath cut out. Make a few extra wreaths in case they want to make more, they are so fun!
Kids do this:
- Cut out wreath with deco-edge scissors, write your name on the back.
- Glue ribbon to wreath.
- Use a pencil to mold paper strips (see video) and glue to wreath base.
- Add decorations!
Viola, a beautiful wreath! Let kids make these for gifts for family and friends, they are sure to bring joy! Merry Christmas and as always happy crafting!
Cute idea! Thanks

I’ve posted your site on my Facebook page because there are a lot of parents with young crafters there….we are a crafting family! And my 3 year old grandson’s caregiver does tons of crafts with her young chargers.

I thought this was sweet…referred it to my friend with grandchildren. Suggested adding a manger with Baby Jesus and text at the top “Happy Birthday Jesus” as a variation on the bling for her grandson; I’m pretty sure her grand daughters will love the bling.
