Tip: You can purchase packages of gift bows just like the one pictured at craft stores and big box stores.

Instructions:

The first step is to make the base for your paper wreath. I sketched around both a cocktail glass and a shot glass to create the cardboard circle for the wreath. Use your scissors or box cutter to cut it out.

Cut out a piece of green cardstock and glue it over the top of the cardboard circle.

Using your pencil, sketch a leaf shape on the green cardstock. Cut it out and use it as a template to make a pile of green leaves.

Fold the leaves in half and glue them onto the wreath in an overlapping fashion.
