butcher paper spring wreath

IMG_8902
As you may know I love to celebrate the seasons with a unique hand crafted wreath and for spring I decided to create a fresh, all white wreath made completely from butcher paper.


IMG_8871
I always keep rolls of butcher paper on hand- it is one of the cheapest and most versatile supplies!


IMG_8874
I started by cutting large strips of butcher paper and scrunched it up.


IMG_8872
I then wrapped and glued it around a styrofoam wreath form.


IMG_8880
Next, I created paper flowers by cutting out circles


IMG_8881
that I crumbled up


IMG_8882
to add texture.


IMG_8883
Using hot glue (this makes it quick and easy) I layered the different circles on top of each other.


IMG_8884

IMG_8886


IMG_8888
I created the center detail of the flowers by crumbling up tiny pieces of paper.


IMG_8891
I glued the crumbled piece to the center of the flowers.


IMG_8877
I created all sorts of flowers in different sizes- enough to fill the wreath.


IMG_8894
I decided to create some little leaves for the wreath. By scrunching leaf shaped pieces of paper to add a little dimension.


IMG_8897


IMG_8905
Last, I glued all of the flowers and leaves to the surface of the wreath.


IMG_8907
And there you have it- a simple, cheap and pretty wreath perfect for spring!

love butcher paper...use it for patterns, what not and when my girls were little it was the best drawing paper...my aunt used to wrap her packages for mailing in it and this was back in the 60's, something i think i will start doing again!

absolutely incredible. Love it! It looks so elegant, can't believe it is made from butcher paper!

Gwen Diehn said...

Butcher paper seems to be one of a lot of people's favorite resources! I wonder of you could get the meaty residue and smell out of used butcher paper and upcycle it? Thanks for a really clear and helpful tutorial. I love the fresh whiteness of the wreath!

Barbi D. said...

Gorgeous!

iHanna said...

You are the queen of crafty wreaths girl! This is super beautiful, very different from your colourful wreaths but SO elegant. Thanks for doing it as a tutorial, the finished product looks very advanced.

I adore the all white! Really beautiful.

PS Lovely wreath

Sherry said...

How do you do it woman? You never cease to amaze me with your wonderful creativity!

Cmichaudart said...

ingenious, really...perfect for a wedding or christening. I suppose this is the same as freezer wrap? All the butcher paper I see is brown...ingenious!

Jill Berry said...

It is so elegant and so doable! Thank you for this springy wreath, it is lovely.

Rosie said...

Have to say, the title of your post left me skeptical but the wreath turned out beautifully!

Bonita Rose said...

so so pretty and simple.

Anonymous said...

Really lovely! Have seen similar wreaths made from scrapbook paper but this all white version is much more elegant!

Cindy Lietz, Polymer Clay Tutor said...

Great tutorial Alisa! What a surprise to see something all white from you. We are so used to seeing such colorful pieces, this is a fun departure!

Molly Smith said...

This is amazingly gorgeous! You make it look so easy, Alisa (I can see the work in it). Your tutorial is great. Thanks for sharing your creativity. ~Molly

Even your instructions are gorgeous! Thanks for sharing--you made it look easy, too. Great results, I'll have to keep my eye out for butcher paper. Haven't seen any in the stores, but haven't been looking, either.

Danee said...

I have an addiction to paper that borders on pathological- Love this design but then I was thinking how cool it would be to make one and then spray it with Glimmer Mist- maybe even in a gold color I have that is basically clear with gold glitter. Either way it really is a terrific project.

aprilmariecole.blogspot.com said...

Such a beautiful "spring" wreath. Thank you for sharing. :]

Quiltrobin said...

If I had not seen your step by step photos, I would never have believed you could make something this AWESOME from crumpled paper!!! This is brilliant and so beautiful. I love it. Bravo!

jewelrygirl said...

Oh, my! I don't know which I love more, the eggs or the butcher paper wreath! The wreath is gorgeous and looks like I might be able to do it.

Awesome!
