DIY Starburst Paper Wreath Tutorial

Wow, is it Tuesday already?
I feel like the last two weeks or so has been a blur since the hurricane.
I have been a little slow getting back into the swing of things,
but….happy to be back creating.
I wanted to share with you one of my
NEW
favorite diy projects,
this Starburst Paper Wreath.
I have been in love with paper wreaths for a while now.
I just adore the layers & folds and the texture.
I have seen them done a few different ways but I liked the accordion style the best.
I kinda winged it but
I have to say this is SUPER easy,
it just takes a little time.
Here are the steps below that I used to make mine.
So if you find an hour or so,
grab a cup of coffee or glass of wine:),
put on some music
&
CREATE away:).
You could even do a
girls craft night with this project.
 & glue gun!
I did antique the sides of the book with some
slightly watered down Raw Umber.
But I also did it on the ends too to give it
more dimension(see step 7).
 Fold papers long ways.
 Flip wreath over so the back is facing up, like this.
Tip-when layering & gluing the folded paper also glue where
the fold meets, this will give you more control.
 Flip back so top is up.
Be sure to bend the paper.
  This is the inside layer,
glue & bend forward.
 This is for the last layer,
fold accordion style the short way & fold together like before.
Again, glue & bend back.
I actually took the Distress Ink
& antiqued sections at a time when the wreath was complete.
 Ta-da
I hope you try this simple tutorial,

Happy Day Everyone!

Hi there friends!! Christmas decorating is in full swing over here and I have lots of fun and easy ideas to share. Currently I am working on my family room and tree, which I decided to go with a Norwegian vibe highlighting blues, organic elements, light wood tones and tons of texture. Every year I try to create a tree that reflects my colors and theme while keeping it family friendly.

Free Printables: Modern Blush + Gold Holiday Gift Tags

Hi there friends! Can you believe we have only 6 days left until Christmas?! Are you ready? I think I am, I still have  a few things to do this week. Poor Jack woke up sick, so my shopping plans for today and most likely tomorrow are on hold for the time being. As we get closer to Christmas I thought I would share a FREE holiday gift tag printable that feels fresh + modern in blush ( a favorite color of mine) and gold.

  17. Jen,

    Still trying to get myself back on track after Sandy as well, but so glad we both survived it! This is a lovely wreath and your tutorial is really easy to follow. Maybe we can have a girls can’t night and make one?

    Take care,
