Floral Wreath

A Heart shaped wreath made with paper roses and tissue paper flowers.

 

I used a heart shaped template  and traced it out on a cardboard. Then,  I decorated it with some roses made out of paper and some flowers made out of tissue papers.

I added a small heart in the center with the sentiment " You are my Milk Chocolate ". Then I used a ribbon to hang it.

Christmas wreath

I would like to share a Christmas wreath made with recycled materials.I have used a waste CD as a base for the wreath.

I made the green leaves with paper and stuck them to the cd. Then I made some ornaments, and again those ornaments were also made by cutting the cd. I colored them.

I made some paper roses and added them to the wreath.

And finally, I added some glitter. Used a ribbon to hang the wreath.
