Paper Plate Framed Christmas Decoration - framed artwork hanging on fireplace Here is a fun little Christmas project my kids and I worked on together this weekend. You will cut the center out of a paper plate and inside you can decorate with Christmas themed cut out decorations, sort of like a globe or wreath.

- Art made by my daughter
- Foam plate (randomly stumbled upon in our house) cut by my son, star sticker on and all pieces glued by him
- I cut out the house, tree, snowflakes, bow, and handwritten greeting.

Total Time: 30 minutes

Supplies:

disposable plate
bow
pen
stickers
scrap pieces of construction paper
paint/markers/tempera paint
scissors
glue stick

Steps:

Have your child create their art. My daughter made this creation with tempera paint and markers.

Cut out a circle from the plate.
Cut art work slightly larger than cut out circle and tape artwork to plate.

Cut out Christmas themed decorations of your choice. I cut out a house and Christmas tree.

Next, my son decided there must be snowflakes so I cut out snowflakes.
