How to Make a Paper Earth Day Wreath

1. Print off the free printable templates.

You can get the free printable templates at the bottom of the post (on the form with a preview of the template).

2. Color the templates.

You will need to color all eight of the wreath templates to fill the paper plate as shown. You can also choose to do more or less!

Once you are done coloring, cut out each image.

3. Cut out the center of a paper plate.

Cut the center of the paper plate out. I like to bend the paper plate slightly to make a cut mark and then you can get your scissors inside to cut out this portion.

4. Paint the paper plate. 

This is optional, but some of the paper plate might show through depending on where you glue the templates on.

5. Glue the templates to the paper plate.

Glue all of the templates to the paper plate. You can space them out more and glue less down if you do not want to color all eight.

6. Add a loop of twine to the back for hanging.

Tape the twine to the back for hanging.

These Earth Day wreaths are a fun way to decorate the space to celebrate and learn about Earth Day.
