It poured rain for the better part of the day today so we finally had an excuse to pull out the craft supplies and make this tissue paper fall wreath.
You’re going to love this one. It’s super-easy to prep for, it looks great, and kids of all ages will enjoy making this craft.
We used paper plates with the centers cut out as the base for our wreaths.
Each Hooligan tore a piece of brown construction paper into strips. These strips were supposed to look like twigs or branches. 
Once the “branches” were glued around the wreath, we crumpled 3×3 inch squares of fall coloured tissue paper and glued those where-ever we pleased.
Next we got out our low-heat glue gun and the Hooligans tried that out for the first time, adding a couple of artificial fall leaves and a ribbon for hanging.
I didn’t think of it when the Hooligans were here, but after they’d gone home I added a couple of artificial sunflowers to my wreath for a pop of colour.
And this is what the two youngest Hooligans created. I was running short on paper plates, so they made Fall Trees by gluing our wreath materials onto a narrow strip of cardboard. 
Happy Fall!

Really cute! Great revamp of the classic plate wreath! Gets me thinking about wreaths too
Super cute and looks easy to make! Love how the craft can be alternated for different age groups. =)
Thanks, Mommyana
I love that it’s easy enough for little ones, but the older ones love it too. Heck, I loved making mine! 
They are so pretty! I’d love to see some of those on my walls. I guess we had better get busy!
I have seen many fall wreaths, but this is the first one made by little hands. I just love it and will be pinning it to my Fall board.
