DIY Paper Plate Bow Wreaths

by Stacy on December 6, 2009

I’ve been doing a Christmas related activity with my children every afternoon and I have high hopes to keep the fun going all month long. The results have been so much more wonderful than I could have ever imagined and I’m certain I’ll make this an annual event.

On 2 Dec, our activity was making a DIY Bow Wreath from paper plates – so simple, yet so stunning – I have big plans for these beauties in my home this year.

To assemble:
~ Fold a Paper Plate in half
~ Cut out the center
~ Attach a piece of ribbon, yarn or string to the back to act as a hanger
~ Let your kids peel and stick bows in any which way they choose
~ Use a stapler to permanently attach the bows so you can enjoy this jewel for years to come
~ Enjoy!
