Every room in your home can have a garden view, thanks to this spring wreath made of paper flowers. It’s easy, fun craft activity to do with friends, kids, or bridesmaids at a bridal shower—turn them into decor or flower crowns for a DIY wedding celebration, or a “bouquet” for the bride or bridesmaids to carry at the rehearsal dinner. Just print out our Paper Flowers template, and color it in (using paint, markers, pastels, anything else you have in your craft bin). Then cut out the finished blossoms and leaves, along with the rim of a paper plate to serve as a wreath form; extra blooms can be used for scrapbooking. Now break out a glue stick or glue gun and your inner floral designer and put the wreath together any way you like.
Hang it on your door or wall (we like Command Hooks for indoor hanging), or tape it facing out on your window to spread spring cheer.
