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

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.
