Make a Spring Paper Wreath (tutorial)

I have been wanting to make a paper wreath for awhile. I LOVE pretty paper and I thought it would be so fun to make a wreath using some bright and spring-y paper.

I saw a couple amazing paper wreaths at the CHA show last year. So when I saw the Silhouette online store had some paper flower 3-d images, I decided to try making a wreath with them.

{Spring 2012 Mantel}

Here’s what I did:

I started off with a plain wreath form. I wrapped it with ribbon. And just keeping it real — I ran out of ribbon. So I took a yellow and white ribbon and wrapped that around the part of the wreath that was bare. It started off as a blooper, but it ended up being one of my favorite parts of the wreath!

There are a few different flowers I used. Most are pretty straight forward. The 3-d Loopy Flower might be my favorite. I also love the layered Chrysanthemum. Here’s a little more detail on how I made the 3-d Loopy Flowers:

  1. Cut out the strips of paper. Each strip is cut in the center in rows through the center.
  2. Take the long, skinny strip and wrap it around a pencil. Then hot glue shut.
  3. Fold the paper in half and hot glue the circle roll to the edge of the inside of the folded paper.
  4. Roll the folded paper around the glued circle center, creating a flower and glue shut at the end.
  5. I used one strip per flower and these made small flowers. If you want a larger flower, just use 3-4 of the strips around one of the circle centers.
  6. Add a button or brad to the center of the flower.

Of course, if you don’t have a Silhouette, you can still make a paper wreath of your own. Here are a few free templates you can use and cut out the flowers with scissors:

    I’m going out to buy a wreath and ribbon today. This is lovely and so much fun. One question – how do you attach the flowers to the wreath. Thanks so much for this beautiful idea.

    Amazing job! I am just starting to work more with paper and it’s great! What paper did you use? I am thinking about thickness since it looks like with the folding that a thinner paper might work better- suggestions?? Thanks!!

    Beautiful flowers. I made the 3D daffodils with my students for 30 years! I retired this year. I may do them with the church children this Sunday or on Tuesday night. I had a different 3D tulip pattern. It was a silhouette, you make several and staple down the center. Then you fold them out, like opening the pages of a book.
