Paper Flower Wreath tutorial and step-by-step instructions:
1. Print and cut out the template. Trace the leaves onto great paper and cut them out.
2. Select some pretty colored craft papers for the flowers. Trace the flower templates onto these papers and cut them out. The flower template includes 5 patterns: 3 flower petal parts and 2 center parts (the spiked and the spiral patterns). You can cut the centers from yellow paper or from the same color but deeper shade than your petals.
3. Wrap your round base with burlap fabric.
4. To make the flower, take the three petal portions of each flower, and crease the centers of the petals. Glue them in the center, one on top of the other, with the smallest on top and the largest on bottom.
5. Roll the center spiral from its outer edge toward the center. Allow the rolled spiral to loosen up a bit and then glue the rolled part to the center of the spiral pattern. Glue the spiked pattern on the center of the flower and then stick the rolled spiral pattern on the center of the spiked pattern.
6. Repeat to make more flowers in your favorite colors.
7. Start assembling it all together by adding the flowers to the wreath.
8. Once you are done attaching the flower, add the leaf cutouts intermittently between the flowers.
9. You can add as many flowers and leaves as you want. Just keep the color combination and arrangement cohesive and pretty,and it will turn out beautiful.
