What You'll Need:

- 2 egg cartons
- Craft paint in several colors
- Paintbrushes
- Hot glue gun or craft glue
What You'll Do:
1. Adults: Use sharp scissors to cut through the middle of a paper plate. Cut out the middle of the plate, leaving an outside ring about 2½ inches wide.
2. Kids or Adults: Fill the cups of one egg carton with different colors of paint.
3. Kids or Adults: Again depending on age and comfort with scissors, either kids or adults can cut out flower and leaf shapes from the second egg carton.
4. Kids: Paint the cut-out shapes to look like flowers and leaves. Allow to dry.
5. Kids or Adults: If working with a glue gun, adults should adhere the painted flowers and leaves to the paper-plate ring — or closely supervise older kids. If using regular craft glue, kids of all ages can participate. If using regular craft glue, allow the paper-plate ring to dry laying flat for a few hours.
6. Kids or Adults: Hang up the wreath and enjoy!
