Make a Frosty Ice Skate Paper Wreath

I colored my ice skates blue, green and red. But you may color them however you wish!

       To make this ice skate paper wreath you will need to gather the following supplies: a paper plate, ribbon for a hanger, silver, blue and white scrap wrapping papers, a print of the ice skates below, colored pencils, white school glue and a stapler.

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Remove the center of the paper plate using the tip of their scissors and cutting along the scored center circle. Discard the circle into a paper craft bin for other use.
2. Punch a hole into the top of the wreath.
3. String a blue or grey ribbon through and knot it for the hanger.
4. Use white school glue to attach multiple icy branches to the paper plate wreath. To make many branches quickly, stack four or five layers of wrapping paper on top of each other and cut simple branch shapes all at once. (see the photo below)
5. Download the ice skate clip art provided at the bottom of the blog post; print it out on your home computer and color the ice skates however you like.
6. Cut these out and paste them to the front of your wintery wreath. 
7. Hang your skate wreath in your classroom or home!

I used a metallic bronze pencil to color in the blades at the bottom of my skates.
