Welcome to...Never Bored: Halloween Paper Flower Wreaths!

Our paper wreaths. Sorry about the bad pics, I took my camera to the river and now I have some condensation on it? But this was a fun project, we had a "come straight out of bed" craft day and it was a BLAST!

1st I ran off 20 copies of the rose template on Ellinee.com in all different black patterned paper, also orange, purple and red orange. Then we started cutting them out! This is a long process perfect for our laid back craft day with my sister Darcye, who was here from Ohio.

Follow the how-to's on Ellinee's blog and they will come out perfect! Minus the 3rd degree burns on everyone of your fingers.

I told you we were "come as you wake up" for this! That's Darcye on the end-I just love her, she is the best sister ever!

Cut-roll-glue,burn!
(but for heavens sake don't swear).

When you start the centers they should look like this-some what. Remember every flowers is different, yours should be too.

Then layer, I liked setting them in a row after I hot glued them together, then I would layer them.

See they look GREAT!

Ok, we saw on Pintrest that you could make wreaths out of plumbing insulation stuff-nope. We did on one but what a pain in the butt! If you want to go cheep-and who doesn't, then get a water noodle at the dollar store, but you cant cut them in 1/2, to make the top flat, tried it. You have to wrap it in material so that the hot glue will adhere. I just bought a styrafoam wreath at Jo Ann's and cut of the top layer to make it flat, that was the easiest but not the cheapest.

Then some of us added the leaves, I didn't, I just didn't like the way it looked, Sam did though because she liked the way it looked-so it's all up to you!

Rikki didn't want me to get her in this picture, you know-no makeup so I am putting it in extra large just because it is making me laugh right now, (and we should all ways do things that make us laugh-I'm still laughing). She is going to kill me, (laughing even more!).
