🖌️ How To Make A Flower Wreath
- Step 1: Select a colored craft paper for the flower and cut a 12 inches long strip (1 to 2 inches wide).
- Step 2: Create small and even accordion folds on the strip.
- Step 3: Create zigzag patterns along any one sides of the folded strip. Use the folds as guides for each zigzag.
- Step 4: Use craft glue to join both sides (width) of the accordion folded strip. Now we have an accordion folded roll.
- Step 5: Hold the plain side of the roll and press it towards the center. Flatten the roll by holding all the folds of the plain side and pressing them towards the center.
- Step 6: Cut out 2 round shapes from yellow colored papers and glue one of those on the center of the pressed paper. Similarly glue the other circle on the other side of the paper to secure the flattened piece (accordion folded).
- Step 7: Similarly create more flowers to make the wreath. I made 8 flowers for the wreath.
- Step 8: Trace and cut out leaf patterns from green colored craft papers.
- Step 9: Determine the size of the wreath and cut out a round base of at least 2 inches width.
- Step 10: Start to glue the flowers on the base first. Make sure that the color combination of the flowers is nice.
- Step 11: Done adding all the flowers? Now glue the leaves between the flowers, on the base.
- Step 12: Allow the glue to dry once you are satisfied with the pattern. Attach a hanging mechanism at the back side and done!
Your flower wreath is now ready. Enjoy!

💡 Pro Tip: After finishing, hang the wreath and step back to view from different angles—this reveals uneven spots and lets you tweak flower positions for perfect symmetry.
🧑🎨 Expert Tips
- Ring Stability: Use a sturdy base ring—such as wrapped wire or reinforced cardboard—so the wreath maintains its circular shape even after adding multiple layers of flowers and greenery.
- Stem Integration: Attach floral stems in small bundles before securing to the ring, which distributes weight evenly and prevents sections from drooping over time.
- Petal Sequencing: Layer flower petals in an overlapping spiral around the wreath, starting at one point and working your way full circle for a continuous, cohesive look.
- Angle Spacing: Position each bloom at a consistent angle and distance from its neighbors to avoid crowding and ensure the wreath looks full yet airy all around.
- Leaf Layering: Tuck leaves and foliage beneath petals in repeating patterns—this hidden layering builds depth while reinforcing petal placement and overall balance.
- Weight Balancing: Check the wreath’s feel by turning it upside down gently; redistribute any heavy clusters to maintain uniform weight so it hangs straight.
💭 FAQs
Cut a sturdy cardboard or foam ring and cover it with ribbon or paper. This creates a clean foundation for attaching flowers securely.
Use heavyweight cardstock and glue with a fast-dry adhesive. Press each petal firmly to ensure they stay shaped and attached over time.
Use a variety of shapes, sizes, and pastel colors of paper flowers to create depth and striking visual interest in your wreath arrangement.
Place it prominently on your front door or above the mantel in a well-lit area. Ensure you avoid damp spots to maintain the paper's crispness and vibrancy.l.
