Handprint Christmas Wreath Craft
Maybe I’m crazy, but I think it’s never too early to start thinking of Christmas decorations. And I’m here to say it’s time to get into the Christmas spirit, starting with this sweet Handprint Christmas Wreath Craft! This would be a really cute Christmas decoration for a classroom, too!
This Christmas wreath is made simply with handprints glued around a cardboard wreath form. You can make the wreath any size you want. Of course the larger you go, the more handprints you’ll need. Then, for the finishing ribbon, we have a Free Printable Wreath Bow Template just for that.
Christmas Wreath Handprint Craft
For our Christmas wreath craft you will need our wreath bow template. You’ll also need cardboard, construction paper in red and varying shades of green, scissors, glue, and twine for hanging.
Handprint Christmas Wreath Craft Supplies Needed
- Wreath Bow Template
- Cardboard

Christmas Handprint Craft Step by Step Directions
Begin by selecting different shades of green paper.
Trace handprints and cut out as many handprints as you need to make the wreath.
Now, prepare the wreath base from a large piece of cardboard. You could use a paper plate instead.
Start gluing the handprints on the base one by one.
Keep attaching the handprints until the whole base is fully covered.
Next, print the bow template and cut the pieces out. Trace the template patterns for the bow on red paper and cut out.
Then, apply glue on the middle part of the bow base.
Bring both open ends of the bow base and join it with the glued middle part.
Wrap the middle strip around the middle part of the bow pattern.
Attach the tail cutouts on any one side of the paper bow to complete the bow pattern.
Glue the paper bow on the handprint wreath.
Finally, glue circles of red paper cherries on the wreath to finish this darling holiday decoration. Then just attach a string of twine to the top of the Christmas wreath and it’s ready to hang.
