Supplies & Materials

  • Colored craft paper
  • Thick craft paper or card stock paper
  • Glue
  • Pencil
  • Sharpies

Instructions

  • Pick your craft paper colors. Cut a 4 x 3 inch rectangle for each flower, a small circle (about 2 cm) for the center, and a 2 x 3 inch green rectangle for the leaves.
  • Fold the flower rectangle in half across the short edge. Repeat this fold two more times to create evenly spaced sections.
  • Open the paper and refold along the creases to form accordion-style folds.
  • With the paper still folded, sketch a curved edge on the open side and trim along the line with scissors.
  • Keep the accordion folded neatly, then fold it in half vertically.
  • Add glue to one side of the folded piece and press it together to secure.
  • Gently spread the folded layers outward to create a circular flower shape.
  • Glue the remaining open sides together to finish forming the flower base.
  • Attach the small circle to the center of the flower.
  • Make the leaves using the green paper by folding, shaping, and trimming the same way as the flower base.
  • Cut the folded leaf piece in half, fold one section horizontally, and glue the sides together to form leaf shapes.
  • Cut a wreath ring from sturdy cardstock.
  • Glue the leaves onto the flowers, then attach the flowers to the wreath base.
  • Continue layering flowers until the wreath is full. Let the glue dry completely before displaying.
