SU, Recycled Wreath

I don't remember where I saw this idea. I knew that I wanted to CASE it someday.
Today was that Day.
I bought a foam wreath from a craft store.
Any size will do. Mine was 16 inches.
Using Stampin' Up!s Fancy Flower Punch, and the Packing paper from the box my Stampin' Up! order came in,I punched out hundreds of flowers.
I hot glued ribbon on to hang the wreath when I was done.
Then I wrapped the paper flower around a pencil eraser, dabbed hot glue to the end of each flower and stuck it to the foam wreath.
I repeated this with each flower till my wreath was covered.
I remember doing this technique, in grade school, with tissue paper to make paper mache' pinata's.

Then I used Stampin' Up!'s Beautiful Wings Embosslits to make the butterflies.

Its a couple day project.
I punched all the flowers one day, while watching movies,  and made the wreath today.
I can't wait to show it off at class!


Happy Stamping!!
