Hello Summer Wreath

My patio door will be all decked out with this colorful Summer

wreath that I made with the "Beach Party" Mini Collection by

Paper wreaths come in all shapes and styles and today I’m sharing my version 

of a fun “Hello Summer” wreath that will brighten an entry way or covered door

 during the Summer months! I started with a 7” wire wreath base and twelve 12” 

strips cut from two patterned papers (total of 24 strips) from the “Beach Party”

 Mini Collection.  The strips were cut 1” wide.

 The strips were folded in half with the center of the fold placed over the inner ring

 of the wreath.  The top flap of the strip was inserted back through the outer ring

 and glued in place to the back flap.

A circle of chipboard and solid red paper were cut to be a bit larger than the center

 opening of the wreath.  The two pieces were glued together and then attached to

 the back of the wreath.  A journal card was cut-out and attached to the center

 of the circle with foam adhesive.

To add even more fun (and to hide the bottom metal ring), strips of 5/8” grosgrain

 ribbon were knotted or tied into bows around the perimeter.  Approximately 4 yards

 of the navy ribbon was used to make the bows and 2 yards each of the red and

orange ribbon were used to make the knotted pieces.

A large eyelet was set into the top paper strip and a piece of white string was

 knotted through for a hanger. Now it's all ready for displaying and greeting guests!
