Paper Wreaths

Hi, Ali here,

I always like to make a wreath to hang on the door or wall at Christmas.

Here is a simple one a made a couple of years ago with a Scrapagogo kit

 

which is just made from punched out tag shapes glued onto a cardstock heart.

In keeping with my yearly theme of recycling,i wanted to use newsprint or paperback book pages to make a wreath-so i had a little look to see if anyone had done one before,and I was amazed at just how many i found...

So I decided to link to the excellent tutorials that i found,and hope you find them as inspirational as I did.

Lets start with

A geometric wreath,which can be found here

 

Starry Wreath

and then I found this beautiful wreath

 
here

and also here

There was this beautiful wreath

 

 



 
which is made from sheet music Here

 

 

Loads of work has gone into this wreath

loopy

 

 
 

Finally,take a look at this beauty.

Red.

I hope you find something in there to inspire you.
