Spring Wreath

Hello everyone, I hope the weather is a bit more spring like with you than it is here!

Today I am sharing a step by step on how I made my spring wreath I hope you like it.

Materials Used:

polystyrene flat backed wreath (I bought from hobbycraft but they are cheaper online)

Lots if small pins and 9 large decorative pins

Stampin Up Cardstock in More Mustard, So Saffron and Lucky Limeade

Stampin Up patterned paper in First Edition Speciality

Stampin Up  Ribbon Taffeta in So Saffron

Stampin Up Ruffled ribbon in Lucky Limeade

Stampin Up stamp sets Build a Blossom and Mixed Bunch

Stampin Up Punches Blossom Petals Builder and Blossom

How to:

Firstly I stamped the petals in So So Saffron ink onto So Saffron cardstock. Five petals are needed for each daffodil.

I used the Blossom Petals Builder punch to punch these out.

 

I then stamped three flowers from the Mixed Bunch stamp set onto More Mustard Cardstock using So Saffron ink and punched out with the Blossom punch.  I made small cuts towards the centre of the bloom to enable the petals to be curled.

 Next step is to assemble the flowers, I used wet glue but you could you whatever glue you prefer as long as its strong.

 I then moved onto the wreath base.  To cover the base I cut the patterned paper into 6" long strips, I cut so that the text on the strips is going in both directions as you can see.

This is the most time consuming part of the whole wreath but i think gives a great effect.

 You can then attach your daffodils and I added strips of Lucky Limeade cardstock to give the effect of daffodil leaves.

To finish off I wound two different ribbons around the wreath and added a hanging loop.

I am really pleased with it.
