Ribbon-shaped Christmas Wreath
Materials Needed:
- Paper plates or cardboard circle base

- Glue stick
- Scissors
- Glitter, pom-poms, rhinestones, or sequins (for embellishments)
- Ruler
- Pencil
- String/ribbon for hanging
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Create Your Circle Base
Cut out a large circle from a piece of cardboard (width of the circle should be at least 4-6 cm to have enough space to glue the paper) or you can use a cardboard circle base.
2. Create the Paper Strips
Cut strips of green and dark green coloured copy paper about 1-2 cm wide and 10-15 cm long.
3. Assemble the Wreath
Start sticking the paper strips onto the circle base, gluing them close together to cover the entire ring. Alternate colours or create patterns for a festive look. Make sure the loops overlap slightly to give your wreath a full appearance.
4. Add Texture
To add texture, you can cut the ends of the paper strips into points or curl them using the edge of your scissors.
5. Add Decorative Elements
Once the base is covered, add small decorations like glitter, pom-poms, sequins, rhinestones, or glue.
6. Attach a Bow
For a final touch, you can glue a bow made of paper or ribbon at the top of the wreath.
7. Let it Dry and Display
Allow the glue to dry completely. Attach a string or ribbon at the top for hanging, and your paper Christmas wreath is ready to decorate your space!
