Wreath making is a popular hobby, and I can see why. There's just something about wreaths and the way they can dress up a door or warm up a wall. When I first got my Cricut cutting machine and went looking for awesome crafts to make with it, one of the very first things that caught my eye was a paper wreath. I had no idea you could make a wreath from paper! But you totally can... and they're really pretty amazing.

So today I want to show you exactly how to make this paper winter wreath. To make it, you'll need some 65 lb. cardstock in a variety of complementary colors -- you can see I used whites and blues on this wreath, and the traditional reds and greens on this one. You'll also need a wreath form -- the kind made out of foam, some ribbon to wrap around your wreath form, and a hot glue gun with plenty of hot glue sticks.

I also recommend you wear silicone finger protectors to avoid burns. I did not, and as I was putting the last sprig into the wreath, I burned two fingers on my hand. Ouch! So don't be like me -- protect your precious fingers!

I have a free pattern for you to use, so let me show you where to find it and then I'll show you how to put this lovely winter wreath together!
