Instructions: Click here for a larger project image. For this Christmas flower wreath you need green cardstock and design paper. Cut 8 petals out of the green cardstock and 8 petals out of design paper (See instruction photo here.) Instead of using the green cardstock you can of course also use the brown hardboard. Fold the design paper as you can see on the photo and hold them together with a staple. The petals on the photo are in centimeters (11 x 6,6 cm) but in inches it is about 5" x 3" but you can make them any size you want of course :)) I also cut out 2 circles of hardboard (for the front and back) so I can layer and glue the petals on it and yes as always I inked all the edges first :P. Once you have glued all the petals you can add the circle in the center of the flower. I also decorated the center with design paper before adding the arianna blooms doily and poinsettia. At the bottom of the wreath I pinched a hole and created the bead chain. The bow was created with all sorts of materials with the mini bowdabra. Now you can start decorating your wreath with the beautiful swirlys from the cut mat and create collection and the die cuts from the Festive Christmas Collection. I also used some bandage in between and some feathers.
