Family Wreath

Hey there friends, Becki here, to share with you a family wreath that I created using a wood wreath from Jillibean Soup and some bold patterned papers from the Pebbles Everyday collection. I used my Silhouette to create the flowers and the “family” portion of the wreath. I used cut files to create the flowers. I love creating with 3d paper flowers. (Remember the “Spring” home décor piece I created earlier this year?)

Using premade cut files makes projects like this SO easy! I added a yellow button to the center of one flower.

Here are a few tips for creating your own paper flowers.

1. Bend the paper slightly to give the petals dimension, but don’t crease the paper.
2. Use strong adhesive. I prefer glue dots or a hot glue gun. Both of these hold the flowers together with minimal or no drying time.
3. Choose patterned papers that are double sided. Most of the time you’ll be able to see the backside of the paper, so make sure it’s a print that you’d like to be visible.
4. Add buttons, gems, enamel dots, or brads to add some extra interest or dimension to your flowers.

This pink flower is my favorite part of this wreath. It took a little longer to create, but I LOVE how it turned out.

I hope these tips have inspired you to create your own family wreath with paper flowers. Thanks for stopping by today; I’ll see you next Thursday!
