Instructions

Paint the chipboard wreath base with cream-colored acrylic paint. You do this so that you have a good-looking base in case there are any gaps in the flowers of the wreath.

Open My Cricut Design Space Canvas for Paper Flowers -->HERE<-- 

Set your Cricut machine to Cardstock, Load your Paper onto your Mat, Load it into your machine, and start cutting (you will need the scoring tool for the green leaves)

For my Wreath, I chose 3 Flower designs. First I sorted the flowers by color, then by individual flower since I cut multiple flowers in each color.

Flower 1:

The Majority of the flowers (the Pink and Blue flowers) were a rose-like pattern. These flowers had to be put together petal by petal so I started with them.

First sort the petals by size (since I had 2 flower sizes cut for each color) Each flower has 5 large petals, 3 medium petals, and 2 small petals along with a circular base.  *The large petal on the smaller flower was the same size as the middle petal of the larger flower. 

Curl the edges of each petal. I did this by using the piercing tool from my wedding kit and gently curling the paper flower petal around the tool using my thumb and pointer finger. I found it best to gently curl the sides of each petal than the tips.

Glue the bottom two parts of the petal (on either side of the cut mark) together using hot glue.

To assemble start with the 5 large petals and glue them around the outer edge of the circle. forming the base of the flower.  *The pointy part of the base of each flower pointing toward the edge with the curls part of the petals curling downward.  Then glue the middle 3, then the smallest 2 ending with the yellow center. 

Flower 2:

The second prominent flower is the Purple layer flower I found this pattern already designed in Design Space access. I just tripled the design and made it so each flower had three layers (each smaller than the last) to give the flowers more depth. Then I decided that I wanted varying sizes for the wreath.

First, sort out all the petals layers into the individual flowers. Each flower has a large, medium, and small layer.

Curl the edges of each petal. I did this by using the piercing tool from my wedding kit and gently curling the paper flower petal around the tool using my thumb and pointer finger. I found it best to gently curl the sides of each petal than the tips. * When I first tried to make the flowers I thought to curl the petals after gluing the base but found it was better to curl first. 

Using a hot glue gun glue the flower layer together using the tab on one side of the cut flower.

Glue each layer together in the center. Gluing the middle yellow part last.

Flower 3:

This flower I used as an accent flower to fill in holes in the wreath (along with the leaves) and add a splash of bright color. I found this flower already designed in Cricut Access in Design Space like the purple one. All I did was size it to how big I wanted it. Since I just wanted it as an accent flower I Kept the design relatively small.

To assemble just curl the flower tightly (I curled my around the piercing tool) from the outside edge to the center (where the circle piece is.)

Let the flower loosen a bit then hot glue the base placing the circle part over the hot glue.

Final Assembly:

Once all the flowers are assembled, lay them out on the chipboard frame to get an idea of where you want to hot glue them on.

Start at one section hot gluing the flowers on one at a time and work your way around. I tried to glue the purple flowers flat on the frame and angled the pink and blue ones (sometimes using extra hot glue to get the perfect angle to cover more of the frame. ) and I stock the Yellow accent flowers to fill in any big gaps.

Lastly, I added leaves to add more color and also fill in any holes to give that full colorful effect.
