In dreams of summer: a wreath of paper and silk flowers
Step 1
Cut out strips of 2 x 25 cm, 3 x 25 cm and 4 x 30 cm from paper, cut these strips longer at first, and then shorten them if necessary. Lay strips of paper on the creasing board so that they lie on the folding lines (5 mm). Fold with a ruler to fold (bend) strips of paper along the fold lines. In this case, the strips are constantly shifted a little further to the edge until all of them are folded.
Step 2
Fold folded stripes to the end in the shape of an accordion. A suitable figured hole punch to break through various circles and flowers. For each outlet you need at least two circles for bonding.
Step 3
Lubricate the beginning and end of the folded strip with glue, put in a ring, connect and fix with a paper clip. On one of the circles in the middle, drop a drop of hot glue, squeeze the ring flat and in the middle put another ring on a drop of hot glue. Wait a bit until the glue hardens. Then stick the second circle on the front side so that the first circle retains its shape better. As shown in the photo, you can stick several circles on each other or alternately stick cut flowers, buttons, half beads or sew buttons.

Step 4
For our wreath it took 17−20 flowers of various sizes. Metal ring entwine with green floral ribbon. For hanging tie straps and cords of various widths. Cover the ring halfway, starting with the largest flowers. Fix the flowers on the ring with hot glue.Then tie the ribbons and cords so that they hang down, see also the photo, and then stick the remaining flowers. For greater volume and airiness, stick small flowers in some places, as well as decorate the ring with a wire in green paper braid. Position the wire around the ring with loops and fix it, securing it to the ring in several places.
