DIY Flower Wreath

Spice up your front door with this easy DIY flower wreath. You can choose any colors you want and whatever size you want. Mine has 4 different shades of blue with white in the middle and is about 30cm wide.

What you need
 glue gun
 cardboard circle (cut to size of your choosing)
 4 different colors of paper cut in 4"x4" squares using about 6 sheets per color
 white paper cut in 3"x3" squares



Step One: Make Pedals

To make your pedals you will need your 4"x 4" and 3"x 3"squares and your glue gun. Take one square at a time and form a cone shape. It is the easiest if you put your paper facing you in a diamond shape and and roll it until your corner overlaps the other side and glue it. Its hard to explain, here is a link to a video if you need help https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pBmKBY-9R3g






Step Two: Make Flower

Take your darkest color and start placing your pedals around your cardboard circle, they should be about 1" in from the edge. Once you get your placement the way you want it glue them to the cardboard circle.


Then repeat the same process for your others colors until your wreath is finished. i found it easier to put the second color pedals in between the first color and did that until I got to the middle.


Once you have the wreath done to your liking you can add a sting to the back, so you can hang it on your door. Here is the finished product, it is a little time consuming but looks gorgeous.
