Step-by-Step
-
Step 1
Determine the size of strips you would like to cut for your wreath. Suggestions are 1/4”, 3/8” or 1/2”.
Using the paper trimmer, cut determined width strips across the length of the double-sided paper. Cut to 1/2” inch of the edge and stop so the strips remain connected at the bottom. -
Step 2
Measure and trim one inch from every other strip.
-
Step 3
Using the inside embroidery hoop, apply tape adhesive to both the outer and inner surface.
-
Step 4
Attach the connected edge of the paper to the inside of the embroidery hoop. Trim paper so there is no overlap.
-
Step 5
Bend each strip in a circle and attach the end of the strip to the outside of the ring. Press firmly to adhere to the tape.
-
Step 6
Decorate as desired to complete the project.
