A Crafty Affair
I love talking about DIY Christmas wreaths. I'm pretty sure I was born to craft. But finding a craft that's kid-approved? That's where the magic happens.
Crafts are such an easy way to let kids run a little wild. A paper wreath? A bit of fun? A memory in the making? How about all of the above? Get ready for a day of laughter, creativity, glue, and so much fun!
If you're looking to deck the halls (or at least the front door) in a unique way this Christmas season, this paper Christmas DIY wreath is the way to go. Whether you opt for construction paper, scrapbook paper, or even some leftover wrapping paper from last year, the result is going to be so beautiful! So gather those supplies, round up the kids, and get crafting!
Paper Wreath Wonders
You've got an easy wreath base(paper of course!) that children of all ages can shape, fold, and attach to their heart's content! I love the way the poinsettia flowers turn out too! So bright and beautiful! Very welcoming on the front door. And feel free to hang them in other places too!
While we always think of the front door, I recently went to a friend's house and she had so many wreaths hung all over the house! Above the mantel, on the backs of chairs, the front entryway, the windows, etc. Wreaths are just good decorations no matter where you hang them.
I hope this is the start of a wonderful new Christmas tradition in your home! Homemade wreaths today, who knows what DIY masterpiece you'll have for next year? Happy holidays and here's to making memories, one cute craft at a time!

How To Make DIY Holiday Wreaths
Wreath Form
Start by cutting out a wreath shape out of the cardboard. We recommend tracing two different size plates to form the shape. If you do not have cardboard, you can also use a paper plate and cut out the middle of the paper plate.
Wrap your wreath shape with kraft paper strips. In the case you don't have kraft paper, use wrapping paper, or even construction paper. Cut it in the paper into strips and wrap it to cover the entire wreath form. Glue down the kraft paper using a small amount of white glue or even glue dots.
Paper Poinsettia Flower
Download the poinsettia flower template at the bottom of the page. We have included both a color template of traditional red and green as well as a blank template that you can create your own Christmas wreaths in whatever color you desire.
Cut out each of the template pieces and trace and cut out the circle piece out of the kraft paper.
Fold each of the flower petals and leaves in half length-wise
Place glue over one side of the circle piece.
Next, glue the flower petals to the circle with the base of the petals across from each other. Glue two petals on top of those going across.
Glue an additional four petals to the top of the previous four petals, but glued down in the corner of the other four petals.
Next, glue the three leaves to the bottom of the flower.
We then cut a small square and a small circle out of the kraft paper and or green paper. Glue those into the middle of the poinsettia flower.
Glue the three poinsettia flowers in one corner of the wreath. This makes for a beautiful paper wreath.
From there, some optional embellishments include small twigs, pom poms, stickers, sequences, or a million different creative ideas you might have.
Regardless of what you add... viola, the end result is the cute Paper Christmas Wreath EVER!
Merry Christmas and Happy Crafting!
