  • Start by marking a circle on your paper plate
  • Cut out the circle

  • Create two circles/layers of scrunched paper
  • Create the first outer layer – scrunch your paper in the middle, and using glue gun attach to paper plate.

  • Attach the next scrunched paper – I attached them about an inch apart.
  • The closer you place the more dense your wreath will be.
  • Create a second layer, scrunching and adding one piece at a time.

  • To hang I created a loop out of string and glued to the back, using the glue gun.

You can add various decorations, such as a hung item in the middle of the wreath for example, bauble, felt dove etc.. ribbon bows on the wreath – your only limitation is your imagination:)

Personally I love the simple wreath, but it is easy to jazz up, adding a splash of colour and or texture.

For further Christmas recycled ideas check out my Pinterest board. What handmade christmas decorations are you planning this year?

As usual I am popping by Handmade Harbour to see what other people have been up to this week,

I have always, always wanted to make one of these but never thought to use a paper plate as a base! Buying a base was holding me back, but it won't anymore! Thank you!
