Online Class: Make a Beautiful Fall Wreath

My next live online Michaels class is October 27th at 11 a.m. MDT, and I’m really excited about this one! Silhouette paper crafts are my favorite, and I’ll show you how to make a beautiful fall wreath. You can go with the Halloween option or the versatile fall option. Both use the same Silhouette designs and assembly techniques; you just choose the papers and embellishments to match your theme. The class is over, but you can watch the replay below.

I will teach this class as a Premium Michaels class, but it is being offered for free this time as a preview to what you’ll get in other premium classes. The class will be longer than most free classes in order to allow time to dig into the software and/or spend more time on assembly. Class size is limited so I can answer all your questions.

Replay:

Here is the replay, but read below for more details including class supplies and totals I cut for leaves.

Description:

In this Premium class, I will guide you through cutting and shaping leaves with various weights of paper. I’ll share my best Silhouette paper cutting tips, and then show how to assemble a full wreath. Choose your own color scheme for either Halloween or fall. The leaf designs will be provided the week of class. I will use the Silhouette Cameo® 4 cutting machine in class, but you can use any model of Silhouette Cameo or Portrait. Note: If you wish to prepare the leaves in advance, resize the leaves to about 3.5-4” in height, and cut about 5-6 maple and 5 oak leaves from each sheet of 12”x12” pattern paper. Cut about 3-4 maple and 2-3 oak leaves from each sheet of letter-size cardstock.
