| Paper Flower Wreath |
The other day I was playing around on some blogs and I found this tutorial on
Take Heart blog by Danielle Burkleo on how to make felt flowers. Instead of felt I used paper from old books, a Restoration Hardware catalog and old music sheets. I love how you can use any kind of paper and it turns out great.
Supplies: glue, .99 cent paper wreath, paper, glue gun, scissors
Step One: Cut paper in strips and wrap around wreath and attach with glue
Step two: Create flowers

| Cut a square then round the corners |
After you cut the paper in a square then round the edges you need to cut the paper in a spiral. You do not need to measure the paper so that it is a perfect square. They all turn out great:) Cut from the outside to the middle to make a spiral.
Then you roll from the outside in and then add glue to the bottom of flower to keep it in place. I made a bunch before attaching them to the wreath.
I also went to youtube.com and typed in
"Spiral Paper Rose Tutorial"
It is a great video I found to show how to make the spiral roses. Thank you Jennie for making this easy to follow video.

I also made cards for all of Carter's preschool teachers:)
Are you inspired to make your own flowers?
I love this! You make the most amazing wreaths. I like how you incorporated the different types of paper. It gives the wreath dimension. The boys have some lucky teachers :)
