    Cut out the middle

    Fold the plate in half and cut out the center, leaving a 2 in ring. A grown-up can start the cut if it's tough.

  2. Step 2: Trace your hands

    Trace your hands

    Trace hands on the green paper. You need about 12, so get everyone in the house involved.

    Cut them out. Wobbly fingers look fine on a wreath.

    Glue them on

    Glue the palms around the ring with the fingers pointing out. Overlap them so no plate shows.

  5. Step 5: Add berries and a bow

    Add berries and a bow

    Glue red berries in clusters of 3. Tie a bow at the bottom and hang it on a door.

Edie's tip

Write each person's name and age on the back of their hand. It becomes a family keepsake.
