This morning, each of the hooligans made a tissue paper Easter wreath. This is a super-simple, super-cute craft that kids of all ages will enjoy making.
How to make a tissue paper Easter wreath:
Cut a wreath out of a paper plate or light-wieght cardboard. A cereal box would work well for this. I traced a dinner plate for the outer circle, and a kid’s bowl for the inner circle. 
Have your little one crumple 3×3 squares of tissue paper, and glue them all over the wreath. 
We stapled a ribbon bow to the bottom and a ribbon loop to the top for hanging. 
Aren’t they pretty?
Happy Easter!

So Happy and Springy! Made me happy once the image popped on the screen!
Thanks, Melissa! You can’t go wrong with tissue paper! The colours always look so pretty!
So pretty! From a craft we did recently, I learned that my daughter LOVES squishing up tissue paper, so this would be perfect craft for her. We need to add more Easter decorations to our mantel so this would be a perfect addition.
You’re in luck, Rebekah, because you can incorporate the tissue-scrunching into so many different crafts. We’ve done hearts, rainbows, Xmas trees, Easter eggs, candy canes… Name a holiday, and we’ve likely done a tissue paper craft for it. I love that it’s easy enough for even the youngest ones, but beautiful enough that the older ones are really pleased with their masterpieces!
So lovely! Putting on my To Do list for over Spring Break

my 2 y.o. daughter and i just made a Valentine’s Day themed one following your pattern! It turned out so cute! Finally put all that girly hot pink and pale pink tissue paper from my baby showers to use!
Awesome! I have plans for a Valentine’s one too! I love using tissue paper for holiday wreaths. They’re always so pretty, and I love that they fit the budget!
So, so lovely. I’d love to make some with newspaper, I reckon they would look amazing too!
Glad you liked this one, Penny! Newspaper is a great idea!
Approximately how many squares are needed for 1 wreath? I’m a teacher and want to “pre-cut” the squares for my class.
Oh boy, Abby, I have no idea. Depends on how small the children crumple the tissue paper, and it also depends on how big your wreath is. You could always make a sample wreath yourself first to see. If you look at my photos, each colour in the wreath represents one square of tissue paper, so you could do a rough count to get a general idea.
