easter craft: paper flower wreath

i'm not a scrapbooker, but i definitely enjoy a good paper craft every once in awhile for holidays and parties...and especially when it's made easy by paper source {my all time favorite stationary store}


so here's the darling spring/easter wreath i made for our front door. perfect for an indoor window, door, or wall too!

and here's how i made it with the kit BUT i'm sure you could get all these supplies at the craft store and make a custom one too!

step 1: tie a ribbon to a wreath board

step 2: cut out flowers in different sizes {or better yet, use a handy die cut}

step 3: put them together with colorful brads and fold the petals for dimension

step 4: glue or use foam squares to mount flowers in layers on the wreath circle

happy crafting & happy easter!
