Paper wreaths

Found a wonderful tutorial here have made some following these instructions and they are fabby!

Yes, like those too

Am luring people to the "dark side" of crafting here...papery stuff rocks!

Not difficult to lure some of us, wish flute was younger then we could have fun, she is just so busy now bless her.

I find paper crafts so fascinating, paper making, paper sculpting and crafting, moulding, cards, origami...the list is endless.

Am about to post up a folded nesting box tutorial , I make mine from wallpaper pattern books and they are really nice..the books are for really expensive papers but I got them from the Worcester scrapstore for nowt and they are lovely quality and really good patterns...the boxes are really good for small gifts like home made sweets or soaps or some such.

I really really LOVE making things like boxes, cards, home made paper , paper casts, salt dough mouldings,painted candle jars, candles, soaps creams ...oooh I love making presents for friends and teaching people how to do this stuff!

Sorry got a bit carried away...

But my workshops are full of stuff like this and we have SO much fun....

I will try not to be jealous I would love to join you & have fun.

I break up from school soon, and the homework has started to slow down now. I haven't done any christmas cards yet...

Well I have the glitter glue all ready, I can find an apron for you & sit you at the table whenever you like.

I know!!!

GLITTERY WREATH!

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm

:bigsmile:

I'm off to have a go at one of these

Though I havn`t made one, I have recieved one through the post, the site is being well linked through several other forums & blogs that I look at, it is really, really lovely, as is the pongy bag that came with it!!

Have just looked through my Christmas decs & my wreath. Love it so much I thought I would bump this thread.

Can I make one this year? (Creeping smile...)

Get the bits together, well the paper & card Think I have a stapler

YAY! (Happy smile...) Can I come round saturday afternoon?

If you have all the bits, yes, I have glue but no little paper flowery bits

Yep I got the paper and card. And the glitter!!!

The kids and i made wreathes this year

we used a wire coat hanger and bent into a circle.

covered in tinsel with a deco hanging in the middle

cut up pipe cleaners and tied wrapped lollies on each end

then just wrapped lots of them onto the hanger

Just spent a really nice afternoon with flute, we both made our wreaths & are very pleased with them.

Where're the pics then?

You will have to wait for flute, mine, maybe never

Something else to add, flute used a cutout ring of card, I found an old paper plate cut out the centre & & used that for my ring.

Well, here's my xmas wreath:



It's slightly different to what I left with (added gems and glitter!!! ). In case you didn't know, it's smarties paper, and winnie the pooh paper.
