Autumn Wreath

Fanfold Wreath  

• Large circles are 24” x 2” (2 – 12” x 2” strips joined, or 3 – 8” x 2” strips joined.) 
• Medium circles are 20” x 1½” (2 – 10” x 1½” strips joined)
• Small circles are 20” x 1” (2 – 10” x 1” strips joined)

 The wreath base is made from the cardboard that comes with the package of Designer Series Paper.  The outer circle is around 12”, and the inner circle is about 8 ½” (a large mixing bowl can be used for a pattern for the inner circle.)

 All of the strips are scored at 1/2” intervals.   It is easiest to score the pieces before cutting them into strips.  First score at 1” intervals.  After scoring at 1”, 2”, 3”, etc. to the end of the length you need, turn it over and score at ½”, 1½”, 2½”, 3½”, etc.   This will make it easier to accordion fold at the half inch marks. 

 Accordian fold your Designer Series Paper and Cardstock strips and join them to make a circle.   Hold several thicknesses together and punch with the small punch on the Crop A Dial.  String twine through the punched holes.  Pull very tight so the circle lays flat and tie, leaving the strings free on the end.  They will be trimmed when you adhere the circles to the wreath base.  Decorate as desired.
