Tissue Paper Wreath

Tie a knot in the string to create a hanging loop, pass the pipe cleaner through the string and fold it in half. Twist the 2 pipe cleaner halves together to make one thicker pipe cleaner.


 

 

 

 

 

Wrap this around to make a circle and pinch the loose end around the other side of the string just above the knot to secure it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Cut the green tissue paper strips in half and then in half again (4 piles of paper). Cut a V into one end of all strips.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Starting at the string end, wrap the straight end of each strip of tissue paper around the pipe cleaner and secure it with glue. The V end should be on top and stick out further than the straight end.
 

 

 

 

 

Keep going until you have covered the pipe cleaner completely (the strips will overlap). You might not use all the green strips, but that's ok, use as many as you think looks good and full as the wreath foliage.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Next, glue the pom-poms on in groups of three. These represent holly berries, a very traditional wreath adornment (decoration). Try to make each little bunch of 3 squish together slightly, it might help to glue the 3 bunches together first before you glue them onto the wreath.


 

 

 

​

Lastly, tie a bow around the top of the wreath. Tie it onto the string next to or on the knot (whichever is easiest), this will keep it in place.

Your Tissue Paper Wreath is now ready to hang up!
