You can make a bright wreath for the holidays. It is fun and easy to do!

Things You Need:

  • One paper plate ring with the center cut out by a teacher
  • Green paper scraps
  • Red paper circles
  • A glue stick
  • A piece of yarn

Step 1: Tear the green paper into small pieces. Tearing paper is fun and safe for your hands.

Step 2: Rub glue all over the paper plate ring. Use a simple glue stick so your fingers do not get too messy.

Step 3: Stick the green paper pieces on the plate. Overlap the pieces so you cover all the white spots.

Step 5: Tie the piece of yarn around the top of the ring. Now your wreath is ready to hang on a door!
