I found this idea one day while scrolling Pinterest. I have MANY pins… in sections… on boards… yeah. You too? I decided to actually look at my pins instead of adding new. I found so many ideas I forgot I had saved.
So, last week while looking for Spring projects to do on a live Facebook video, I found this GORGEOUS paper rose wreath that is also easy to make (right up my alley). 😉
Open the bag and put your hand inside(1).
Push in all 4 corners (2)
and hold onto them from inside the bag (3).
Pull the 4 corners in your hand down while pulling the outside of the bag up around the edges (4).
Repeat steps 3 and 4 until you are at the end of the bag. You might need to fluff it up a little (5).
The back of the flower is actually the opening of the bag (6)
Every flower will look a little bit different, but I think that is what makes it look “real.” I made 30 flowers for my wreath.
Glue the opening of the bag around the base of the flower (7).
This next step is totally optional. I glued my flowers in groups of 3 before adding them to my wire wreath form. This really helps to fill in the spaces on the wreath and to get rid of all gaps.
Flip your group of 3 flowers upside down and put your wire wreath frame on top – make sure that you are gluing your flowers to the convex (rounded side up) part of your wire frame.
You need to use quite a lot of glue to secure it to the frame. Hold until set (approximately 20 seconds).
There you have it! A beautiful paper rose wreath from lunch bags for under $5! Yay!
I just love how this turned out! I am planning to make 2 for the French doors in my dining room!
Let me know if you make one. I would LOVE to see how it turns out!
