How to Make a Surprisingly Simple Paper Wreath
Here is an easy and fun project for the Holidays. This would be a really fun project to do with your kids too. Using non-traditional colors makes this full of interest and flair. Of course, traditional Christmas paper would also look fabulous This project was created by Jeff Rudell at CraftStylish.com.
Supply List:
A styrofoam wreath form of your own choosing (roughly $3 to $5 at most craft suppliers)
Some paper
A hole-punch (A 3-inch-diameter punch was used here)
A hot glue gun
Working around the outer edge of the styrofoam wreath form, simply hot-glued an assortment of colored paper disks in place.
Once you finish the outer edge, add a second course of disks to the inner edge, again, gluing them in place.
A third tier of colored disks is added so that it slightly overlaps the outer course below it.
A fourth and final course of disks is then added to completely cover the wreath form and hide it from view.
The addition of some 1/2-inch, tricolored "berries" (punched from red, fuchsia, and burgundy paper) along with a wide ribbon from which to hang it completes this project in no time. Mr. Rudell suggests when you're done with your first wreath, made a second or a third and hang them in groups of three or five.

Wow, that's cool! Just bought a "cone" yesterday hoping to do something similar in a tree shape... now I'm really inspired to try it!
The bright colors in this looks great. Fun idea.
Candace-I just saw a really cool project in one of my mags using a cone for a Christmas Tree and a foam ball for a button Turkey! Can't wait to see what you come up with:)
Marcee this is so cool! I love all your projects ideas you throw our way! Thanks!
