Cousins' Craft Night- paper wreaths

We had so much fun at our second Cousins' Craft Night making these paper wreaths. Bethany found this idea on the following website: Craft Gossip.com

What you need to get started:
- 14" wreath
- 6 coordinating 12x12 scrapbook papers
- paper trimmer
- hot glue gun & glue
- any embellishment you want
-5" of ribbon to coordinate with your wreath (will be your loop to hang)

Step 1: Cut the paper into 1" x 4" strips, and glue the ends together
Step 2: Once you have all of your loops glued, you will add your first layer on the botton. Line up the loop to the surface of your table to get an easy line. Hot glue loops onto your wreath.

Step 3: Add your additional layers one by one. It's best to alternate your loops, but glue them right next to each other.
Step 4: You will have a total of 5 layers. Once you have all of your layers, you will want to add a loop of ribbon to the back of your wreath.
Step 5: Add your embellishment and hang. This project is doable in one night. Super fun!!
