This is a very EASY and affordable wreath to make--just use pieces of scrap fabric or ribbon you have in your home.
Instructions
1. Using the Cricut Expression/Accent Essentials Cartridge, with multicut/fit-to-page on, cut Accent#2 and Accent#2 shadow, from chipboard.
2. Paint Accent#2 shadow with gold acrylic paint and set aside to dry.
3. Some chipboard sheets are white on one side. If you don't have these types of chipboard sheets, paint one side of the Accent#2 with white acrylic paint and allow time to dry. The white side will be the front of the wreath.
4. Once dry, knot two pieces of fabric/ribbon together and weave in and out of the squares, securing the two fabric pieces in another knot on the outside of Accent #2 on the bottom. Tie pieces of different-colored fabric/ribbon in knots all around the circle.
5. Using the green thread, sew buttons "here and there" to the fabric/ribbon that is tied to Accent #2.
6. To make the hanger for the wreath, loop some ribbon, and staple the bottoms of the ribbon to Accent#2--staple them so they are hidden behind the tied fabric/ribbon.
7. Place this piece on top of the Accent#2 shadow, so that the gold-painted piece shows through. Staple these two pieces together behind the pieces of tied ribbon, so that the staples don't show through on the front.
8. Using the Cricut Expression/Beyond Birthdays cartridge, (be sure to turn multicut/fit-to-page off), cut Happy Holidays from the pink cardstock and its shadow from the green carstock at 3.5-inches.
9. Using black ink, stamp the burlap or any small pattern on top of Happy Holidays (pink cardstock). Attach the Happy Holidays to its shadow and outline with black pen. Attach this sentiment to the center of the gold-painted Accent#2 shadow.
