How to Make
Print the templates on the green card using a printer. The templates are mirrored horizontally, which means that if you make a mistake during printing it doesn't matter as that is the back of the leaf – it won't be visible in the final design.
Top Tip: If you don't have a printer the templates can also be traced onto the cardstock.
Leaf by leaf continue to cover the rest of the wreath base leaving the smaller leaves until last.
Top Tip: To achieve a dimensional wreath design, secure the foliage to the inside curved edge of the base as well as the top face, as this will enable to cut pieces to sit over and above other elements and will also make them easier to manipulate into place once secured.
Voila! You have a beautiful wreath for decorating the inside of your home this season!
