Paper Valentine Wreath

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  ...
