EASY LEAFY WREATH . . . TWO WAYS!

This may look a bit complex, but you can make it in an hour or so. Pick your leaf size (I used the 2-1/2" Circle Punch) and get cracking!

I traced around a large bowl that fit exactly onto one of our thick 12" x 12" backing boards, then used a smaller bowl for the center circle. This wreath size took almost four sheets of Crisp Cantaloupe Cardstock (18–20 circles per sheet) plus 10 circles from the Gold Foil Sheets for the contrast section.

The “JOY” hexagon from the Hello December Project Life Accessory Pack was perfect for the clean “geo” feel I was wanting. After drilling a little hole for hanging (by hand—could not work out how to put the drill bit in the drill!) I sponged on a bit of Whisper White Craft ink.

Okay, so now that you’ve got the idea, why not try it another way? Here I used the Garden Green sheets from the Trim the Tree Designer Series Paper Stack and stuck them in roughly three rounds on the back of an empty roll of ribbon. Mini wreath . . . so cute!

Hope you’re enjoying decorating this Christmas. Wishing you peace and a wonderful holiday season with the ones you love.
