My mom and a few of my brothers visited us a couple of weeks ago and while they were here my mom and I were able to sneak away to the craft store for a little bit.
There is nothing like being able to wander the isles of a craft store without little kids. It was so fun to walk around and check out all the fun crafty things.
While we were at the craft store I found the most adorable felt turkey stickers. I just knew I needed them to make an adorable Thanksgiving craft of some kind!
After messing around with the turkey stickers I decided they would be perfect to make a Thanksgiving paper plate wreath.
Paper plate wreaths are one of my favorite holiday crafts to make with the kids. They are easy to make, inexpensive, and a fun way to decorate. Plus the kids love making them! This Thanksgiving Paper Plate wreath is no exception, it turned out so cute and was so easy!
To make this wreath you only need a few supplies.
Supplies
- Cheap Paper Plate
- Paint (optional)
- Fall leaves
- Twine
- Turkey Stickers
Thanksgiving Paper Plate Wreath
The first step to making this Thanksgiving paper plate wreath is to get the wreath shape. Fold the paper plate in half and cut out the middle giving you a wreath shape.
Once you have your wreath you can paint the paper plate or leave it white whatever you want. We painted our plate wreaths 3 different colors (black, red and rose gold) to see what we liked best.
After our painted plates dried the kids used glue to attach leaves around the plate. I found a bag of these fall leaves at the Dollar Tree and they worked perfectly for our craft.
Then we taped a piece of twine across the middle of our wreath and used two turkey stickers to attach a double-sided turkey to the middle of the wreath.
The kids thought it was so fun to wind up the turkey and watch it spin around in the middle of the wreath.
To finish up the wreath punch a hole in the top of the wreath and use a string, I used twine, to make a loop to hang your wreath from! Find a fun place to hang your wreath and enjoy your fun new holiday decoration.
