Spring Wreath Tutorial

I decided to make a spring wreath for the front door this year. I was inspired by something I saw on Pinterest and (foolishly) decided to go for it. I am really happy how it turned out, but oh my gosh, it took forever. Here's what you need:

-A foam circle wreath form, spray painted
-4 or 5 sheets 12x12 textured paper
-500 dressmaker pins
-Flower punch (I used one with five petals)

I punched out about a gozillion little paper flowers first. It literally took me two days to punch out all those flowers. I recommend having a sizeable stack of Rolo's nearby to munch on because you will be doing this a long time. I had them stacked on the table and Savannah got into them. While I was frantically trying to find something to put the flowers in, I grabbed the first bag I came across (my pump bag was lying right next to the table). So yes, my paper flowers were storred in an (unused) breast milk storage bag. The life of a mom, right? I think to add dimension to the flowers it's really important to use a textured paper. You can see why in the picture below.

I am so happy with how it turned out!


Kind of funny since it's a spring wreath, but as I was hanging it up it was snowing at our house!
