Halloween Ideas & Projects By Glue Dots Adhesives

Supply List

1 Styrofoam 12 inch wreath

6 sheets of 12x12 papers  (Papers used were GCD Studios - Paris Nights)

1 ribbon

2 flowers

1 box of Craft Glue Dots®  

Instructions:

Cut 1x6 inch strips with all your papers

Use a Glue Dot to hold both ends together - it is important that you do not fold the paper in half.

Adhere the flat part of the papers to the foam wreath with Glue Dots , overlapping 1/4 to 1/2 of the paper loop before it.  Do this until you fill your wreath, tucking in extras if you miss a spot.

You can also fold the loops up once they are adhered to the wreath- this makes the wreath look fuller.

After the wreath is covered, add some flowers (or whatever embellishments you want to use) and a ribbon on the back!
