A Mother and her two daughters come together to form The White House Boutique...

To get started heat up your glue gun and wrap around roughly 25 sheets of your paper so it creates a cone shape. Next cut your paper plate or cardboard into a circle I cut the ribbed edges off a paper plate so I have a nice flat surface to work with. Once you get your cones created I still use my glue gun and start gluing them onto the plate/cardboard. I start by making a cross {see picture above} Once those are stuck on there good I go ahead and glue cones in between the two cones {see picture above} I continue this process once more. Once you have it filled in I turn the plate around and fill in the back sparingly but where needed {this just gives it a little bit more fuller and 3D look!
Your wreath should be coming together at this point! Once you are finished filling in the back grab your ribbon and create a loop so you have something to hang it from {see picture}.
Turn around and create your center {focal point} I usually take crepe paper and create a rosette for the center...glue on....
then I usually add a notion of choice {can usually find these at any local craft store in the holiday section} In picture above I purchased some glitter letters and added the word JOY! Being its a JOYful season and all! I also had these cute banners that read NOEL! Have I mentioned I LoVe ChRiStMaS!!

Love love love!! Keep ur ideas coming as they are fantastic!!!
