Wallpaper Wreath

As I mentioned in my last post I volunteer at Ulverston Scrap Store. I brought a few items from the store home to play around with and decided to make a Wallpaper Wreath. They are very easy to make, most of the materials you can get at the store with the exception of a glue gun and a couple of diamantés.

Materials Used

Three pages of wallpaper samples
Two pieces of lino samples
Tin lid

The plain and patterned blue wallpaper I cut into 3.75 inch squares and the mustard colour I cut into 3 inch squares. I then individually rolled them into cones from left to right and glued them along one side using my glue gun. I ended up with 12 cones each of the plain and blue patterned paper and 16 cones of mustard paper.

I covered the largest piece of lino with blue wallpaper and glued first of all the plain and patterned blue cones all the way around using my glue gun. When this was done I cut a circle of mustard wallpaper and covered the inside lid of the tin, used glitter around the edge of the tin and glued the tin lid to the centre of the lino. When this was done I then glued all the mustard cones with the points just and so tucked underneath the tin lid.

I had enough of each colour wallpaper left to make a Kusudama Origami Flower, please see the link at the end of my post on how to make these. I then glued this onto the centre of the tin.

To finish the wreath off I then made two holes at the top of the smallest piece of lino and then glued this piece to the back of the largest piece of lino. I attached some wire to either side of the holes to hang it up.
