Create your very own Paper flower wreath
There is something really special about flowers. They are so delicate and naturally beautiful, but paper flowers are long-lasting which makes this DIY idea EVEN BETTER. The idea of creating a flower out of paper may seem daunting at first, but they really aren’t difficult once you get into the swing of things. The most amazing part about this is that no matter how time consuming it may be at first, every year you can re-use them and that’s what makes the time investment worth it!
