I found this fab tutorial on the internet a few weeks ago and as I always surf and find things and never do them I decided to actually attempt this wreath. I bought small polystyrene wreaths so the finished article isnt as lovely as this original wreath but was so pleased with the final results.
I used just 8 flowers and they are 1.5 x 3" paper pieces with a florist pin and then glue gun to hold them all together, I also wrapped the wreath in ribbon.
and this is it finished and hanging up - the ribbon doesnt look as droopy in real life :)
I can see myself making a few Christmas ones of these for my up coming craft fair - even just to decorate the stall as they take about an hour but they are so cute I think they are worth it - please tell me what you think :)
Have entered into this comp LINK as suggested by a lovely commenter :)

Lou, your wreath is so lovely and I think a Christmas one would be fab too! In fact you could have different seasonal wreaths throughout the year, oooh, I can see a pastel one for Spring/Easter. Well done you for finding an online idea and then actually making it - I'm good at the finding, not so good at the doing! So glad you entered the Simply Stampin' challenge and hope we see you again!
