Ingredients
- 1 cardboard ring
- 2 sheets of marigold-orange crepe paper
- 2 sheets of soft-orange crepe paper
- Paper butterfly templates
- 1 strand of micro LED lights
- Silicone glue
- Scissors
- 1 stapler (recommended)
Instructions
- Prepare the cardboard ring. Place it on a clear, stable work surface. Check that it lies flat and that there is room around it to arrange the flowers.
- Cut and layer the crepe paper. Cut squares from the two shades of crepe paper. Stack 8 to 10 squares for each flower.
- Shape the flower layers. Trim the corners and edges into a rounded shape.
- Secure the center. Staple the stack through the center.
- Cut around the edges. Make small cuts around the outside edge of the stacked paper, leaving the center attached.
- Fluff the petals. Lift each paper layer gently, one at a time, toward the center.
- Attach flowers around the ring. Place the flowers around the cardboard base, overlapping slightly, and secure with silicone glue.
- Add the LED lights. Arrange a single strand of micro LED lights between the flowers.
- Add the butterflies. Cut out the paper butterfly shapes and arrange them among the flowers, then attach.
- Check the finished wreath for loose flowers and gaps, ensuring glue is dry before hanging.
Notes
Keep the wreath indoors and avoid moisture. Ensure careful cutting and gentle handling to prevent tears in the crepe paper.
