This beautiful Halloween wreath was
created by Making Memories' designer Leah
Fung. This is a fun project to help you jump into the spooky season.
To create this project you will need the following supplies:
Making
Memories’ Spook Alley collection (paper, embellishments and ribbon)
Styrofoam
wreath
Paper
trimmer
Scissors
Lollipop Sticks
Hot glue
gun and hot glue sticks
Pencil
Follow
these instructions to create this seasonal wreath:
1. Tie
ribbon (for hanging) to the wreath.
2. Cut
1/4" strips of different Making Memories’ patterned papers and wrap each
strip tightly around a pencil to curl. Create about 80 curled strips to start
the project then cut and curl more as needed to complete the wreath.
3. Using a
hot glue gun, hot glue curled strips of paper, one at a time, to the Styrofoam
wreath. Hot glue each curl up-close to the one prior. The curls should be at
different angles to each other, not aligned.
4. Keep adding curls until the wreath is covered (front, inner
side, and outer side of wreath – but not the back).
5. Cut
lollipop sticks in half, then hot glue the sticks to the backs of Making Memories’ die-cut labels, felt
embellishments, and stickers. Insert sticks randomly into the wreath. Add hot
glue if needed to keep sticks in place. Tie ribbon to some sticks if you like.
6. Cut
large circle out of scalloped die-cut paper, sized larger than the base of
the wreath, then glue paper to the back-side of the wreath.
7. Hot glue additional curls to the wreath if needed so that
none of the Styrofoam can be seen from the sides or front.
