Create a wreath decorated with paper flowers. Perfect for decorating one of your walls, it'll create a retro, botanical feel.

List of materials:

Step 1 : Templates

Download and transfer the floral wreath templates using Canson® tracing paper on your paper.

In the photo, the following Canson® Mi-teintes sheets of coloured paper have been chosen:

  • Champagne for the large leafy stems,
  • Light Blue for the biggest flower,
  • Icy blue for the two small flowers,
  • Ivy for the stems,
  • Red earth for the berries on the stems.

The centre of the flowers and the wreath are made with Canson® Iris Vivaldi paper in Ultramarine.
Of course, you can choose whatever colours you want!

Step 2 : Cutting out

Cut out the different parts of the flowers using scissors; the most delicate parts must be cut out with a craft knife. 

Step 3 : Shaping

Using the paintbrush or a similarly round tool, bend the ends of the leaves slightly. 

Then glue the red berries onto the small branches and the centre of the blue flowers. 

Step 4 : Glueing

Using the paintbrush or a similarly round tool, bend the ends of the leaves slightly. 

Then glue the red berries onto the small branches and the centre of the blue flowers.
