I can’t take credit for this idea… I found it on a DIY Blog called MaryJanes & Galoshes. But I loved this beautiful wreath so much I wanted to give it a try and I enjoyed it so much I thought I’d share it with all of you! So what you’ll need:

• 1 Foam Wreath Form (I got mine at Hobby Lobby for $5)
• Brown Lunch Sacks (you can use old ones – but if you need to buy them, you can get 50 for $1.50)
• 2″ Paper Punch
• Old Paper
• Hot Glue & Glue Gun

Okay so you’ll start with your lunch bags. You can use any kind of brown paper bags you like. I stuck with the school lunch sacks though because they were a little thinner than a grocery store paper bag.

Then you’re going to take your 2″ whole punch. And get as many little circles out of each bag as you can. here’s what my punch looks like:

You’re little paper bag cutouts should look something like this:

Now you need you’re foam form. Mine is about 11″ wide:

Now you’re going to take one little circle cutout at a time and wrap it around a unsharpened pencil, like this:

Then you’re going to add a dab of hot glue to the center of your circle, like this:

Then you’re going to push it onto the wreath form. You’re going to want to hold it in place for a few seconds to make sure the glue sets. And make sure you bunch each piece REALLY close together.

Here’s what one bag looked like on my wreath form:

Here’s what the whole form will look like when you finish. It took me maybe 12-18 bags and a few hours, but you could easily do this while watching tv

Now you can do whatever you want. Add a pretty boy and hang it or add some flowers. I decided to add some pretty paper butterflies I cut out, and here’s my finished wreath!

Ta-Da! Now just find an awesome place to hang or display your new lovely art piece! I hope you enjoyed this fun little project! I’d love to see what you come up with for you finished project!

Have an awesome Wednesday!
