I started with a 12" styrofoam wreath from Michaels. I then selected several coordinating patterns from the Halloween stack. You can use any size wreath - just adjust the paper requirements accordingly. Cut the paper into 12" x 1/2" strips. Curl them using the edge of your scissors or bone folder and attach them to the wreath using straight pins. It will take about six 12" x 12" sheets of paper to fill the 12" wreath. (I left the back side empty.) Use your ribbon of choice to either tie a bow on the wreath or as a hanger above the wreath as Angie did. I suspended a decoration in the center using black hemp. I think it came out cute. I'm thinking about making a larger wreath for Christmas using Graphic 45 papers.
Angie estimated that it would take two full hours to complete the wreath. It took me over four! I wasn't really surprised by this fact as I'm generally slower than the average bear when it comes to crafting. Do you like it?
Jodi, I love this wreath. the papers you used are so pretty in color and yet still have the Halloween flair to them. I think I may have to CASE this one. wonderful job.

Wow this is really cute! Think I might have to try my hand at making one. How long did it take you?
ReplyDeleteHi Shari, I'm glad you like it. It took me about 4 hours to make - but I'm very slow. Once you get in the groove of pinning your paper curls, it goes pretty fast. I'd guess it should take around 3 hours. Send me a link if you make one. I'd love to see it.
DeleteAmazing!
