Found this this morning, looks interesting, I might have to try
this
Stampin Up Desigher Paper Wreath Winter Frost Designer Paper
Holiday Catalog
Simply Beautiful
Hello friends. . . are you having a good day. I sure hope so.
It is a little chilly here but the sun is shining and guess what
we have a ball game today. Yippie!!! Today I have something
very special to share. It is another gift idea and most likely
if you are a surfer of the net like I am this has been the
latest rage out there. Don't say "Oh No I Can't Do This"
becasue Yes You Can. LOL Here is how it's done.
Get yourself a 10 or 12" foam wreath at a big box store. Choose
5 to 6 pretty sheets of 12 x 12 designer paper. I choose the
new Winter Frost #132341 from our Holiday Catalog. TIP: Be
sure when you choose your papers that you have contrast with
light and darks. This will make your project pop. Get your
trimmer out, I used our Stampin' Trimmer #126889. It's a great
trimmer, The great thing about it, it has a large enough
surface to cut your card without pulling out the extension. So
happy!! Next cut your paper into 1/2" strips. Six sheets of
paper makes a lot of 1/2" strips. Take your bone folder and
curl your strips. I curled half of each end one side at a time.
Some of the paper has foil in it and it doesn't curl as tightly
as you want it to. So wrap it around your finger and form
circles. Works beautifully. Remember you want curls but loose
curls so it looks like ribbon on your wreath. Randomly attach
these curls by using a long straight pen. Attach them close
together, you don't want any foam showing but don't stress you
can always go back and insert more strips where you think it
needs to be fluffier. Is this a word? I'm going with it
anyway. Oh I need to mention I did tie a piece of pretty ribbon
NSU at the top of my wreath and hide the ends when I attached my
curls with straight pens. I think that's it, it is really easy
to do, takes about 2 1/2 hours start to finish and looks very
pretty when your done. I would take care in storing it, after
all it is paper.
