This is how to make a floral wreath all out of paper. :)

Getting Started

First, you'll need to find 4 empty toilet paper rolls, or paper towel rolls, and cut them all into thin pieces.

Shaping

When they're all cut up, pinch each one at the end, and press down on the top until it makes a leaf shape. Do this to all of the loops.

Flowers

For the first kind of flower, you'll need several different colors of construction paper.

Cutting

Take 1 paper, fold it in half, then in half again. From the top of it, cut lots of tiny slits all the ways down.

Gluing

Make sure your hot glue gun is hot, and roll up the paper, until it makes a flower. :) Then glue the ends.

A Bunch

You will want a few, so make some in other colors!

For the second kind of flower, cut a wavy strip of paper like this.

The Center

Ball up the end of the strip to make the center of the flower. Then roll it up.

Rolling

Roll up the paper tightly, then slowly let it unravel a bit. Not all the way tho, then glue it. They should look something like this.:) Make a few of these too.

Assembling

Now that you have all the floors done, its time to start hot gluing all the pieces together. Start with a few of the loops, and go one by one. I dont think theres any right or wring way to do this, just try and make sure the general shape of the things stays pretty round.

Not Done Yet..

When everything is all in its place, let it dry and cool. There will also be tons of hot glue strings, which can be kinda hard to get all off!

More Flowers

Now make a few more flowers, but smaller, buy doing it the same way, only with a quarter size of the paper. Then glue these to the bottom of the wreath, or off to the side of it.

And of course you need some green things, so cut out thin pieces of paper. You can wrap them around a pencil to make spiral things, or bend them all up. These will be like little vines.

More Glue

Then glue those green things onto the wreath; in between flower petals works best. You can also cut out some leaf shapes, fold them in half, and glue those around, or stick them in flower petals.

The End.

And thats it! Try to clean off all the hot glue strings, pick a loop that you like to be as the top, and hang it up! :) ✿❀❁⁕✾❀⁕✿❁❀✾
