You will Need
Dovecraft A4 Coloured Cardstock, Perma-Fix Tape, Ribbon
Grey Cardboard
Fiskars Circle Punch
Template
Ferrero Rocher (or other sweet treats of your choice)
How to Make
1. Print the template and cut out a selection of petals and leaves.
2. Cut a slit in the bottom of each petal shape, add Perma-Fix tape and then overlap the ends together, adhering them as you go.
3. Curl the paper to create a petal shape.
4. Cut or punch a circle and add Perma-Fix tape to one side of it. Layer five or six large petals around it and then layer smaller petals in the centre. You can also make some smaller flowers by using the two smaller petal sizes from the template. Repeat until you have enough flowers to cover your chosen wreath size, in a variety of colours to suit your colour-scheme.
5. Cut a large circle from the grey board and remove the centre of this to create a wreath.
6. Using the template, cut a number of leaf shapes out in a variety of green-coloured cardstock and adhere these to the wreath.
7.Using the Fiskars Punch, create a hole in the top of the wreath for hanging.
8.Cut some green strips of card stock, curl around a pencil, and adhere to the wreath by one end.
9. Adhere your flowers to the wreath.
10. Fill each flower with a chocolate, securing it with Perma-Fix tape.
11. You can now thread ribbon through the hole in the top of the wreath in order to hang it around your home.
Your wreath is now complete, perfect for brightening up your home! If you’re not a fan of sweet treats, you can leave the chocolates out for a spring flower wreath that will be blooming all year round!
