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!

The Ornament Craft Supplies:

* Large Paper Plate – one per ornament craft
* Colored Tissue Paper
* White School Glue
* Cardstock Paper
* Basic Paper Craft Scissors
* Hand-Held Office Stapler
* Loose Craft Glitter/Glitter Glue

The Even Simpler 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 ornament embellishments out of the cardstock. You can do a decorative strip for the center {if you like} as well as the decorative hanging part.
* Once your child is done completely covering the paper plate, staple on the cardstock pieces, add some glitter and display proudly!

If you like – your child can add other personalized embellishments like feathers, sequins, buttons etc. Really have them make it into their own craft!
