Paper Rose Wreath

The blog: I’m a Yarner

Why we love it: This wreath gives your front door such a happy, welcoming feel. Each rose is handcrafted for an especially inviting entrance.

What you need: 12-inch foam wreath; cardstock; scissors; hot glue gun; spray adhesive; glitter; and 1 1/2 yards sheer ribbon

How to make it: Cut cardstock into pieces for large and small circles; cut each circle into a spiral. Start rolling the flower starting with the outside. Roll as tight as possible keeping the bottom edge aligned at all times, then pinch together. Put a group of flowers together on a sheet of newspaper and spray lightly with the spray adhesive; sprinkle glitter on top. Let dry. Secure flowers with hot glue. Glue the large and small flowers on your foam wreath. Wrap sheer ribbon around the wreath and tie in a bow.
