A Cheap And Cheerful Decoration
For The Kids To Make
 |
Valentine Day Paper Wreath |
This Valentine Day I intend to make a bit of an effort, (I never do), and this is the first little make that I intend to put on the front door to welcome Mr Whizz Kid home. It is cheap and cheerful and costs absolutely nothing ...
 |
Find some pamphlets or newspaper supplements
 |
Cut out two circles using a plate and a saucer
I used pinking sheers |
|
 |
Using a sheet of colourful paper cut out a leaf shape on the fold
Force a seam along the length with the colour uppermost |
 |
Make a nice pile of these cutouts |
 |
Using a stapler attach these 'leaves' to the backing circle |
 |
Slowly build up the layers |
 |
Try and cover the whole of the backing circle |
 |
Make sure each staple is invisible |
 |
Almost there |
 |
Cover the circle with the cutout piece |
 |
Add a cutout pink heart and a red ribbon |
Costs absolutely nothing and keeps the kids busy for half an hour. A more sophisticated one can be made with red crepe paper or fancy wrapping paper. I intend to lightly spray this one red and sparkly when I get a chance to visit the craft shop tomorrow ...
