When I choose the wreath base from the craft store and this whole idea popped into my head, I didn’t really think about how important the size of the wreath would be. Like a 36″ FloraCraft Make It :Fun Wreath Ring! FYI-The bigger the wreath form the more paper ribbons you need to make too.
That’s OK though, it’s big, bold and awesome! This paper ribbons are made with the Doodlebug Designs Halloween Parade collection and I actually ran out of the paper in the kit and had to go back and buy more. Ack! Like, I said, this wreath form it’s a big sucker.
Supplies Used to make Paper Ribbon Wreath:
- Wreath Form (I covered mine in black crepe paper)
- Doodlebug Designs Halloween Parade 12 x 12 Paper Pack
- Paper Trimmer
- Hot Glue Gun
- Stapler
- Halloween Die Cuts
To make a Paper Ribbons, you will need sheets of patterned paper cut in to 1 x 5 inch strips. When you think you’ve cut enough ribbons, cut some more. You’ll be cutting LOTS of paper strips. Like I said, I used up all 11 sheets in the entire kit and had to go back and get some more.
- Fold paper strips in half.
- Staple ends together. {this step just makes life easier}
- Ink edges as desired.
- Hot glue paper ribbons on to wreath.
- Keep gluing ribbons until the wreath base is covered.
- Keep gluing like 4 evah….

October 3, 2016 at 5:16 pmSo how many more paper kits did you have to use? I’m thinking if doing a smaller version.
Holly Gagnon says
October 3, 2016 at 9:55 pmHi Deb. Yes, it is a big wreath for sure! I used a whole kit and probably a half of one for this wreath. Next time, I will use a smaller wreath form for sure. Thanks for visiting- Holly
