Wreath Measurements: 

~Wreath Form ~

You will need to take an 8" and a 6" round plate ( or circle object) to trace circles onto the chipboard ( see video) and then cut out the form. 

~Rosette Background~

Cut 5 pieces of patterned paper at 2 1/4" x 8", score on the 8" side at every 1/2" along the whole piece. Then accordion pleat each piece. You will then glue the ends together to create the rosette shape ( see the video for assembly) You will glue this rosette to the wreath form. 

~Ornament pieces~

* You will need to punch out 5- 2" scallop circles out of white cardstock for the stamping of images. We used the new stamp set Noel

* Cut 5 wavy circles slightly larger than 2" out of pattern paper 

* Cut 5- 1" x 3/4" strips for the ribbon style banners out of pattern paper

* Cut 5 stars larger than the wavy circles out of pattern paper

See the video for the assembly of the ornament pieces 

~Large Cheater Bow~

* cut 1 piece of pattern paper to 2" x 8" 

*2 pieces of pattern paper cut to 2' x 2 3/4"

* 1 piece of bling for the center

see the video for assembly

~ Centerpiece of Wreath~

Cut 1 piece of pattern paper or cardstock large enough to cover the center opening. We stamped a large sentiment from the new stamp set Ornamental Greeting. Glue this to the wreath form to create a center focal point. 

~ Small Accent Bows~

*4 pieces of pattern paper cut at 1" x 8"

* 4 pieces of pattern paper cut at 3/8" strips for the bow center, the length will be trimmed after gluing the center to the bow
