CHRISTMAS PAPER WREATH!

I started getting tons of Christmas 

catalogs after Halloween. I thumbed 

through some them while I enjoyed my 

morning cup of coffee.  I was looking 

through a wholesale company

catalog when I saw an interesting 

Christmas craft. This month's craft idea 

was a Christmas paper cone wreath. It

was very pretty and it  was made from 

wrapping paper. This craft would be 

great for using up left over rolls of

Christmas wrapping paper. I use gift 

bags now and have a bucket full of 

Christmas wrapping paper that I rarely 

use.

Here is an image of the wreath I used for 

inspiration:

Here is the image of my Christmas 

Paper Wreath:

I used the following items:

2 different prints of red & green wrapping 

paper

Scissors

Glue gun & glue sticks

Red pipe cleaner

Red wire ribbon

Sprig of faux holly & berries

Make 6x6  template. 

Cut 13 squares for each color of the 

wrapping paper. Shape paper squares 

into cones & secure with glue.

Make first row of the 13 cones together in

a circular fashion.

Start second row by inserting 13 cones

inside first row. Be sure to leave top half 

of cone exposed. 

Make bow and attach it  to center of 

wreath. Glue holly and berries to center

of the bow. 

Make loop with pipe cleaner and attach to 

center back of wreath so it can be hung on

a door.
