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.
I always keep rolls of butcher paper on hand- it is one of the cheapest and most versatile supplies!
I started by cutting large strips of butcher paper and scrunched it up.
I then wrapped and glued it around a styrofoam wreath form.
Next, I created paper flowers by cutting out circles
that I crumbled up
to add texture.
Using hot glue (this makes it quick and easy) I layered the different circles on top of each other.
I created the center detail of the flowers by crumbling up tiny pieces of paper.
I glued the crumbled piece to the center of the flowers.
I created all sorts of flowers in different sizes- enough to fill the wreath.
I decided to create some little leaves for the wreath. By scrunching leaf shaped pieces of paper to add a little dimension.
Last, I glued all of the flowers and leaves to the surface of the wreath.
And there you have it- a simple, cheap and pretty wreath perfect for spring!

I ADORE butcher paper! So beautiful! Thanks for the links as well - I really enjoyed Carla's rabbits!
so rad! this is beautiful! :)
I love this!
nice - as usually!
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!
Beautiful wreath!
Thanks for sharing!
Bye,

absolutely incredible. Love it! It looks so elegant, can't believe it is made from butcher paper!
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!
Gorgeous!
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.
ok, I'm usually not a wreath person, but this one may have won me over. The all-white is gorgeous!
This would be lovely for a wedding decoration!
Really beautiful and delicate! :)
Wow! So amazingly gorgeous.
lovely wreath! And thanks for sharing some other tutorials.
Ok for your UK followers - what is butcher's paper?!
PS Lovely wreath
How do you do it woman? You never cease to amaze me with your wonderful creativity!
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!
Have to say, the title of your post left me skeptical but the wreath turned out beautifully!
so so pretty and simple.
Really lovely! Have seen similar wreaths made from scrapbook paper but this all white version is much more elegant!
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!
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
Love the tutorial. I need to show it to my daughter but I'm thinking we'd make a colored version.
thanks for the tutorial, i love it ! can't wait to make one !

amazing! this is so beautiful!
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.
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.
Such a beautiful "spring" wreath. Thank you for sharing. :]
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!
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!
