1 Phat Chic Designs

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
