Completed wreath

Finished!


I put it on facebook but here is another photo in case I have readers here not on my facebook (hi, how come we arent, friend request me!). I like this photo coz it shows how uneven the flowers are in height but overall, it still looks adorable! If I wanted to spend a long time cutting the swirts perfectly the same width, it would be a perfect wreath, but I'm not that kind of gal! When I saw it, I had to make it...like THAT NIGHT! It's only going in my study anyway, not on the front door because I have plans for another style for the front door. Here, have another photo lol:



I should point out, that it looks uneven (bottom heavy) but it isnt, that's just the angle I took the photo from. Tonight I might make a few tiny flower to fill in a couple of little gaps I dont want. Here is the link to the instructions if you want to try.

I got a smallish wreath (23cm across) and used about 20 sheets of cardstock (that I already had, 210gsm). It was started and completed in two evenings (just while watching a movie or two). Give it a try, it's so easy!
