I wanted to make a wreath with pretty spring flowers, but I didn’t want to use silk flowers, and real flowers would never last, so I decided to make my own flowers out of scrapbooking paper.
This was a fun craft because I made the whole thing while watching The Voice, and my daughter even got to help with the punching and gluing.
SUPPLIES:
- Styrofoam wreath
- 8 pieces of scrapbooking paper in coordinating colors (I used a damask pattern)
- Basic crafting glue
- Flower paper punch (I wish I had multiple size flower punches to use but only had the one)
DIRECTIONS:
Punch out 6-8 pages full of paper flowers. This can take a while (which is why TV was helpful).
Glue each one flower your styrofoam wreath in layers but in a random pattern. Make sure each layers dries before adding more flowers.
Once you’ve covered the wreath in flowers, fold up some of the flower petals to give the wreath a 3D effect. Attach a pretty ribbon (I chose a light pink silk ribbon) and you’re done!
