How to make a Christmas wreath – from paper!

Rebecca Nee is an interiors stylist, crafter/maker and avid DIY-er based in London. A constant tea drinker, she’s happiest when creating, knitting, restoring or adventuring. She’s recently worked with Oh Comely, 91 magazine and Mollie Makes Home magazine and this week she’ll be sharing her Christmassy crafts with you.

Looking for something different to adorn your door this Christmas? Follow our how-to guide to make this elegant paper wreath that will add a festive feel to any room…

You will need:
Thick wire and wire cutters
Paper
Scissors
Washi tape
Glitter glue

Step 1: Make a circle of wire to your desired size. Using real leaves as templates draw and cut multiple leaves out of white paper and fold down the middle.

Step 2: Secure the ends of the leaves to the wire circle with tape and add glitter glue to the tips for some added sparkle.

Step 3: Ta-dah! Hang your wreath on your door, prop it up on your mantlepiece or gift it to make some-one’s Christmas extra glittery (I mean who wouldn’t want that?!).
