- Leaf template printed on cardstock– the color doesn’t matter for the template. (click here to get your FREE template!)
How To Make This Fall Leaves Paper Plate Wreath Craft:
1. Print the leaf template on cardstock and cut the leaves templates out. There are multiple leaf shapes so that is fun! Older kids can totally handle this cutting job on their own. Younger kids might need some help though, especially with the nooks and crannies of the leaves.
2. Trace the various leaf shapes onto colored construction paper. Cut the leaves out. You will probably need around 20-25 leaves per wreath.
3. Now let’s cut the wreath shape out of the paper plate. Cut the middle out of the paper plate. Ok, it’s really that easy.
4. Attach the leaves to the paper plate wreath using Elmer’s glue. Elmer’s glue really will work best for this craft. You could help your kids put little dots of glue on each leaf before they arrange them. Or, you could squirt glue onto a small paper plate and let your young kids ‘paint’ the back of each leaf with a coat of glue before they stick the leaves on the paper plate wreath. Just don’t use too much glue or this project will get a little messy. You could also use glue dots or a glue stick if you wanted.
5. At the top of the wreath, use a hole-punch to punch 1 hole through the leaves.
- Cut a length of ribbon (any pretty Fall-color or themed ribbon would work) for the hanger. The ribbon length can be short or longer depending on where you want to hang the wreath. String the ribbon through the punched hole and then tie a knot.
Check out how cute this Fall Leaves Wreath is! Your kids will love hanging this pretty much anywhere in the house.. their bedroom, the kitchen, the front door. It would look super cute anywhere!
