But I think it turned out beautifully, if I do say so myself!
Though time consuming (and painful at times) it was really easy to do.
To begin, I cut 6 different patterned scrapbook papers into 100 1"x 6" strips.
I folded the strips in half then used the glue-gun to hold them into a loop shape, flat at one end.
My loops were then glued onto a foam wreath form, overlapping each loop under the previous one by about 1 inch. I was also careful to mix the patterned papers up so that no 2 loops of the same colour were close together.
Around and around I went - it took nearly and hour (mostly because my toddler kept getting out of bed and I had to keep returning him there!) but it came together nicely in the end.
I am not sure exactly where I will hang my new paper wreath. There are plenty of closet doors around my house - which one needs some holiday colour??
