How to Make this Pumpkin Paper Plate Wreath Craft:

1. Print the pumpkin template on cardstock and cut the pumpkin templates out. Older kids can totally handle this cutting job on their own. Younger kids might need some help though, especially with the stem. You really only need one template.

2. Trace pumpkin shapes onto colored construction paper. Cut the pumpkins out. You will probably need 10-15 pumpkins per pumpkin 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 pumpkins to the paper plate wreath using glue dots. Alternatively, you could use glue sticks or Elmer’s glue… although Elmer’s glue might be a little more messy. Glue dots are the perfect material because they create a nice layering effect that makes the pumpkin wreath pop.

At the top of the wreath, use a hole-punch to punch 1 hole through the pumpkins.

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.

And there you go! This is a super sweet craft and you could hang it anywhere. Kids might love hanging it on the door to their bedroom, in the kitchen, or even on the front door!
