Craft Along: Paper Floral Wreath
I’m excited to share this sweet floral project with you! This free Craft Along Silhouette Class will guide you through making a paper floral wreath. I love making a range of flowers, from realistic to colorful and charming. This project uses pattern paper, so its falls under “colorful and charming.” 😉
Watch the video below to craft along with me! I’ve included a supply list and written instructions below the video.
