Create a beautiful paper wreath from die cut flowers
Craft Essentials, Dies: leaf, one size; flower, three sizes, Polystyrene ring: 25cm, Tissue paper, Pins
This lovely wall hanging is just the thing your home needs this season. A perfect first project for a novice die cutter or a speedy make for a pro, this wreath looks the part but involves none of the faff. Create intricate petals and suggest depth with classic dies from your stash, and voilà, you’ll have a special home accessory just waiting to be proudly displayed.
• Take a selection of green and blue patterned papers and use to die cut leaf shapes
• Cover a polystyrene ring with tissue paper. Glue pairs of leaves together and adhere to the back of the wreath
• Select eight more patterned papers. Use three flower dies to cut an equal amount of flowers in each size
• Gently curve the petals inwards by pinching the end between your thumb and index finger
• Glue a medium flower to the centre of a larger one, then fix the smallest bloom on top
• Repeat until you have approximately 50 finished flowers
• Tie ribbon around the top of the ring to hang. Carefully pierce the centre of each triple-layered flower with a small pin
• Arrange the flowers on the wreath in three concentric rings, allowing them to overlap a little. Begin to pin them in place
• Finish decorating your wreath. Any gaps will be disguised by the coloured tissue paper
