I love easy DIY leaf wreaths because it’s so easy to switch it up depending on the season. The example here is with paper fall leaves, but of course you could do green paper leaves in the summer, or paper flowers in the spring or even paper snowflakes in the winter. Here’s another idea for Tissue Paper Holiday Wreaths! https://tengemsdiy.com/?p=81

Step one: Making the Easy DIY Leaf Wreaths Stencils
Draw out your leaf stencils. Each of my paper leaves are about three inches long. It’s easy to search for images of leaves on the internet, but it’s also fun and educational to go out to the yard or to the park to find leaves and learn about what kinds of trees may be growing outside.
Step Two: Cut out your leaf stencils
You’ll use these to trace all of your paper leaves to cut out for your leaf wreath.
Step Three: How Many Leaves Will You Need?
Trace out all of your leaves with your stencils. For one leaf wreath, we traced out fifteen leaves and used all of them. You may need a few more or less for yours.
Step four: Cut It Out
Cut them all out! The curvier leaves took a little longer, but they’re pretty! If you wanted to cut down of time spent cutting out leaves, you could do more simple leaves and less intricate ones.
Step five: Making the Ring for Your Easy DIY Leaf Wreaths
Cut the middle out of your paper plate. Most paper plates have a circle stamped on the inside that you can trace. You can see here, we’ve left about two inches of the outside of our paper plate.
Step six: Making your Easy DIY Leaf Wreath
Here’s the gluey part! You’ll need plenty of glue for your paper leaf wreath, and most any glue should work. My daughter and I have just used our basic tacky glue.
After all the glue dries would be a good time to make a hole and string up the wreath if you’ve chosen to do so.
Step seven:
Admire that work! Your wreath is beautiful! Hang it up for all to see!
