Paper Wreath Tutorial

I am delighted to have another tutorial featured on SplitcoastStampers!   These paper wreaths are so pretty made with double sided paper and are quite easy to do.  You just need a sharp blade in your paper trimmer.   By the time I had made prototypes and finished wreaths for both tutorials my trimmer had quite a workout! 

It is really fun to see how the alternating paper lengths create the rings of the wreath.  I also varied the width of the cut strips on the three wreaths.    For this centerpiece I made cuts at 3/8" intervals.

I liked the effect of using striped paper.
 It would be cute to fill the center container with candy canes.

A wider cut gives a more rustic look.  The strips on this fall wreath are cut at 1/2" intervals.

I think one like this in bright spring colors with a Easter themed image would be pretty.

A slimmer cut gives a more delicate look to the wreath.  The strips for this one are 1/4".  You do need to be more careful when cutting such thin strips but it is worth it!

Fun plaid!
