The Handprint Leaf Wreath is a delightful fall craft that transforms the outlines of children's fingers into leaves adorned with a few marker swirls. This charming wreath, perfect for kids, classrooms, or as seasonal keepsakes, can be found among the list of previously mentioned cute projects.
To create your own Handprint Leaf Wreath, you'll need a paper plate, construction paper in fall shades, a marker, glue, and a string or pipe cleaner for hanging. Gather your materials, and let's get started!
Preparing the Wreath Base
- Cut out the center of a paper plate, leaving just the outer ring. (Optional: Paint or color the paper plate ring in brown or a fall color to hide any white gaps.)
Making the Handprint Leaves
- Trace a child's hand onto a sheet of paper, stack the papers, and cut out the handprints. You can use a single traced hand as a template to make multiple leaves from different paper sheets.
- Draw veins onto each of the resulting leaves with a black marker.
Assembling the Wreath
- Glue the handprint leaves around the outer ring of the paper plate, layering or overlapping as desired. If you want, glue small tissue paper squares between the leaves to fill gaps and add texture.
- Let the glue dry completely, then attach a string or pipe cleaner to the back so you can hang your wreath.
The Handprint Leaf Wreath is a simple, colorful craft that allows kids to practice tracing and gluing while celebrating the fall season. This keepsake is cute, crafty, and sentimental, and is sure to make your heart melt faster than hot apple cider.
As you work on this project, children will enjoy seeing their creations take center stage around the house.
