Decorative swag & holiday cheer – that’s what today’s post is all about! As you know, a Christmas tree is just not a Christmas tree without some beautiful ornaments covering it.
So on that note – today I’m sharing a festive and EASY Paper Plate Ornament Kid Craft tutorial in honor of this festive time of year.
With just a pinch of creativity {and tons of tissue paper} you too can make a beautiful & unique piece with your child in no time! Whether you decide to hang it on the fridge or perhaps even on the tree – I hope our step-by-step tutorial inspires you today!
This is a great kid-friendly craft to do in honor of the holiday season! All you need are some paper plates, tissue paper, and glue. Let your kids get creative and decorate their very own paper plate Christmas ornament!
Craft Supplies:
- Large Paper Plate – one per ornament craft
- Colored Tissue Paper
- White School Glue
- Cardstock Paper
- FREE Christmas Bow Printable
- Craft Scissors
- Hand-Held Office
- Pipe Cleaner – one per ornament craft
- optional – Loose Craft Glitter/Glitter Glue
Directions:
- First cut your tissue paper into small squares.
- Put a good amount of glue all over the paper plate and have your child place the tissue paper on top, until it’s completely covered.
- While they are doing that, cut out the bow shape from the printed printable.
- Once your child is done completely covering the paper plate, staple on the cardstock piece and the pipe cleaner “hanger” to the back.
- At this point in time, you can also add some glitter and/or other embellishments.
- When the ornament is completely dry, display proudly for all to see!
If you like – your child can add other personalized embellishments like feathers, sequins, buttons etc. Really have them make it into their own craft!
