Make a personalized wreath for a bridal or baby shower.
Supplies:
decorative papers (I used 12"x12")
scissors
glue stick
ruler
hot glue gun and glue stick
ruler or paper cutter
embellishment (I used an initial sticker)
circle templates (I used a tape roll and jar lid)
coordinating ribbon
hole punch
Decide how big you would like the wreath....
the diameter is the measurement across the wreath at the largest point.
I wanted mine 20 inches.
The circumference would be 10"....I glued strips of colored paper together
to measure 10". Make four of these.
Glue of the 10" strips together...
You will end up with a 10" x 48" long strip of paper.
Draw lines across the back of the paper 1" apart using a ruler and pencil
and fold the strip on those lines "accordion style".
If you would like a decorative edge, you can trim a "v" or "U"
about 4 folds together, and continue.
Curve the folded strip together....
and glue the two ends together using the glue stick
....it will not hold the shape until the next step,
don't worry!
Cut out a few circles of different size using coordinating paper,
to put your letter or embellishment on.
Center it....
Cut them out, and glue together using the glue stick.
Now using plenty of hot glue (don't burn yourself)
glue the piece down over the center.
( you may have somebody hold the wreath together for you as you do this)
Glue another circle on the back.
This is a good place to leave a message for the recipients
and sign it.
Using a hole punch, punch two holes at the top
and thread some coordinating ribbon through
and hang on the front door!
Good luck and thank you for reading!
Keep Calm and Kerri On!
