Wreaths can be made from a lot of things. Grapevine wreaths are among the most popular types. A lot of time foam wreaths are used and they’re decorated with all sorts of things. But there are also paper wreaths, an option rarely explored. You’d the surprised how beautiful and long-lasting a paper wreath can be. So have a look at these examples to get some ideas for your own DIY project.

In one of the many design possibilities, all you need is a piece of cardboard, glue and some pages from an old book. Cut a cardboard circle and make a small hole at the center. Then form each book page into a cone and glue them all on the circle. When you’re done you’ll have to cover the central hole with a medallion which can also be made of paper.

In a different design the book pages (which can also be music sheets or anything else) can be rolled into smaller cones and then glued onto an embroidery hoop. Mix in some cones made of scrapbook paper for diversity. After you cover the entire hoop with these cones, add a bow at the bottom. {found on taradennis}.

A paper cone wreath can take many different forms and can be designed in a lot of stylish and interesting ways. Check out thebottomsupblog for some inspiration.

Stack them and combine them as you wish.

Paper cones were also used for the wreath featured on starsandsunshine. This design makes the wreath look like a large dahlia. It uses blue paper in three different shades. Actually, it seems more like turquoise but you can pick any color you want for your own wreath.

As we’ve already mentioned, grapevine wreaths are very popular. So how do you make one out of paper? It seems like a complex project but it is, in fact, pretty simple. What you need for it is some pages from an old book, glue, twine and optional embellishments. Glue some book pages together to get a longer piece and then crumble it and dip it in glue diluted with water. Use several of these pieces to make the vines that will form the wreath. After you have this part, decorate it with paper flowers and other things. {found on apieceofrainbow}.
