Wreaths aren't only for holidays ... they are a great way to decorate your home year-round and can add a festive pop to parties. I love the texture they bring. And they are just fun to make =).
They can be made from fabric or felt.
Or from paper punches.
Or just about anything. You can view full photos and step-by-step directions here at Fiskars for these three wreaths.
While I'm excited to see my tulips beginning to peek through the ground, I can't wait for it to stop raining here in Oregon so I can get out there and start planting my spring annuals! So in the meantime, I'm busy doing the second best thing ... making my own flowers from paper!
I bet you won't be able to guess what punch I used to make this flower before looking at the directions ...
I love using tools in unexpected ways! Step-by-step directions with full photos and demos are here at Fiskars.
I recently posted some more paper flowers here.
I love the look of book page wreaths and knew I needed to make one for my home. So I decided to put my own spin on it and add decorative edges to the pages first. I love the texture and interest it added!
It didn't take long to add the pretty edges. I finished up an entire book during an episode of Conan and then didn't even use all of the pages up for the wreath. For full directions with some step-by-step photos, check out my wreath over at Fiskars.
I do have to warn you they are addictive. And so inexpensive. I used chipboard from some packaging and a book from the dollar store. Have you ever looked at the books sold there? My goodness, talk about really random topics!
