One of my followers on Stampinconnections asked for instructions so here goes.
Supplies:
12” Floral Wreath from the craft store
20 sheets of DSP cut into 1” strips
*sometimes I like to vary mine so I do 1”, ½”, ¾” strips*
Flat head pins
Pencil (for curling the strips)
Sizzix Halloween Dies ( I used a Spider I have and I have a
little Halloween saying one but there are tons of cute punches out there to
decorate with)
Paper lunch sacks (for sorting)
Ribbon for Hanging the wreath and covering the wreath
Instructions
1.
Cut all
your DSP into 1” strips
2.
Sort out your colors
3.
Curl all your strips with a pencil I did them
toward each other. *You can also do it
just end to the other end and then spiral them out to cover more space.*
4.
Place your curls into bags separating by color
*this makes it easier to keep from grouping two many colors together*
5.
Pin your
ribbon in place as a hanger *this also gives you a starting place to start
pinning.*
6.
Wrap your ribbon to cover the wreath *I didn’t
do that in this example but have done it ever since because it helps to cover
any gaps between the curls.
7.
Pin your pieces of paper. *I labeled my bags 1 – 12 and just started
pinning and going through all the bags that eliminated too much duplication of
colors
