Christmas Wreath Art Project


  I love this time of the year. It is a great time for art projects, especially since students are usually starting to get excited and antsy due to the holidays. This Christmas wreath is a fun and festive project that can keep your class busy for a good while. Playing some Christmas music makes it even more festive, plus it helps with the chatter that goes on between students as they enjoy this craft.

The Christmas wreath is a tear art project that requires very few supplies as you can see in the picture. Probably the most time consuming part of prepping the project is cutting out the center of the paper plates. You might want to see if you can recruit a parent helper to do this for you, but I actually don't mind doing this as I sit in front of the TV.

I'm sure you have figured out that the torn pieces of green paper just get glued onto the paper plate to make the wreath. Then a bow is added with some berries and glitter. It is an easy project, although younger students do sometimes tear the paper too small and take a long time to cover all the white on the plate. With some coaching they are fine and in the end, all of the wreaths come out beautiful.

While this is an easy project, I have made the complete instructions with helpful tips and the bow available as a FREEBIE on my TpT Store. I've provided the link below for you if you are interested.
