Make a Fall Wreath from an Old Wreath

Materials

+ An old wreath to redo.

+ Sheet music or other recycled paper

+ Tape

+ Scissors

+ Two buttons from your stash

+ Hot glue/hot glue gun

+ A ruler

+ A permanent marker

+ Twine or ribbon from your stash

Directions

1. Remove all of the lovely items on your old wreath. Mine had a lot of glue left on the front, so I simply flipped the wreath over to the back. It was the perfect base for my new wreath.

2. Make the paper flowers by following the instructions on this Recycled Paper Mother’s Day Brooch tutorial– just don’t add a brooch pin to the back of the flower.

3. Then, hot glue the flowers to your wreath.
