To start your wreath, open up a new project in the Design Space app. Search in the Image Library for the Flowers #M3121E, #M46480 and #M4319B or choose three flowers from the 'Mother's Day Bouquet' image set.
Add these to the canvas and resize all three flowers to around one inch in diameter, then select all three flowers and update the colour so that they are all the same. This will mean that they will all cut from the same piece of paper.
Once happy that everything is set up correctly, click the green 'Make It' button.
Once through to the mat preview screen, change project copies to 14 to fill an A4 sheet, you can change this amount depending on the size of your wreath or the number of colours you are cutting, or the size of mat you are using.
Click 'Continue'.
Once through to the machine set up screen, select the 'Medium Cardstock' setting. Place your chosen cardstock on the cutting mat and securein place with the Cicut scraper or brayer tool.
Load the mat into the machine and follow the on-screen instructions to begin the cut. If you are using the Cricut Joy, follow the on-screen instructions to load the mat and start the cut.
Repeat this with all of the different colours of card that you have, until you have flowers cut from 11 different colours.
Carefully remove the flowers from the mat, keep them grouped by colour to help later on in the construction process.
While the glue gun is warming up, grab your wreath base and tie/wrap some ribbon around the top - this will enable the wreath to be hung up - flowers will be secured over the top of this ribbon so make sure this is secured before getting started.
Glue each flower onto the wreath base, keeping the colours in sections.
Continue to work your way around the wreath base, building up the flower layers, so that the whole base is covered.
To finish the wreath, gently fold some of the petals secured on the wreath to give them more dimension.
You are now ready to hang your beautiful wreath for all to see!
