Folded Paper Wreath-Re-Do

Wreath-Re DO!


Original Folded Paper Wreath Tutorial

I found this awesome tutorial on making a folded paper wreath...check out the link here
<3

The tutorial shows that the wreath is made with red and green cut pieces of paper, however I had a bunch of scrap pages left laying around from last simester and so I thought I would try it out a little different. I made the same wreath with standard copy/print paper (I even up-cycled old school papers from last semester.)

You need: 12 - 8.5x11pieces of paper

  1. Fold the page length way in half
  2. Then fold the long rectangle in half again
  3. With the open end facing up (away from you) fold the corners down (see the example picture below)
  4. Then fold the paper in half again with the "Triangle" facing in. This differs a little from the tutorial linked above because instead of only folding the page in half once you are going to have more layers and in the end a little bit thicker wreath.
  5. When you have folded all 12 pieces, stick the "Triangle" ends into the open centers of the next piece...keep doing this till all the ends are together and stick the first piece to the last piece.
Step No. 3-4



Step No. 5

With this wreath you can use up all those old pices of paper laying around and make a cute wreath form to decorate the house with. You could paint, staple, hot glue and generally DOLL UP the wreath with any seasons decor!

ENJOY!
