Practical Scrappers Frugal Finds: Paper Plates

Today over at Practical Scrappers, the ladies are showing us some creative ways to use paper plates in the ever popular, Frugal Finds feature!

I'm a self-acknowledged cheap-o so if I can find a use for something I already have in the house or can easily pick up at a dollar store, I'm excited.  Luckily for me, I found (and saved) a large stack of paper plates  from our move!

My project is VERY easy and could be revamped for any holiday. How cute would a Christmas wreath be wrapped in garland?!

Since the leaves are finally turning here in North Carolina, I went with a fall theme for this simple project.  First, I cut out the center of a paper plate, just leaving the outer ring.  Then, I wrapped and taped (on the back) twine all the way around.  Because the ridge of the plate is curved, it gave the illusion that my wreath was round!  Then, I hot glued the buttons, foliage, and sentiment.  Easy peasy.

Now hop on over to Practical Scrappers to see the other creative ways the ladies used their Frugal Find, paper plates :-)
