- Decorate the paper handprints with markers or crayons to add leaf details like veins.
- Glue the handprint leaves around the paper plate ring, overlapping them to form a complete wreath. Alternate colors or group by color for added effect.
- Optionally, glue on small tissue paper squares to fill gaps and add texture.
- Allow everything to dry completely before displaying the wreath.
- For hanging, tape or glue a string loop to the back of the plate.
