Step-by-Step Instructions
- Print and color the wreath base:
Download and print the free wreath template on high quality white cardstock like Neenah White. Have your child color the ring of the wreath in any shade of green they like. - Cut out the wreath ring:
Carefully cut along the outer and inner edges of the wreath ring to create the base for the handprints. - Trace and cut out handprints:
Using green construction paper or cardstock, trace your child’s hand at least 12 times. Cut out each handprint carefully — these will become the leaves of your wreath. - Assemble the wreath:
Arrange the handprint cutouts around the wreath ring, overlapping them slightly to create a full, layered look. Once happy with the placement, glue them in place. - Add decorations:
Color the bow and red circles from the printable template. Then, cut them out and glue them onto your wreath to finish off your festive holiday design. - Display your wreath:
Once dry, hang your wreath on a door, window, or wall for a cheerful Christmas decoration!
Variations
- Add sparkle: Use glitter glue or metallic markers to give your wreath some extra holiday shine.
- Personalize it: Write each child’s name or the year on one of the handprints for a memorable keepsake.
