How to Make a Paper Rose Valentine Wreath

I cannot wait to show you how to make a paper rose Valentine wreath! This is hands down the easiest, eye-catching paper rose wreath to make.

Equipment

Materials

  • 1 14" Heart-shaped Wreath Frame Dollar Tree or Amazon
  • 12 Brown Paper Lunch Bags or any color
  • Chip Brush
  • Acrylic Paints in any color s
  • 18 strips- 2" wide ribbon cut 6" long

Instructions

  • Open up a single brown paper bag from the inside. Place your hand inside with your fingers open.
  • Using your other hand, grab the outside bottom portion of the paper sack and gently pinch it. (This will be the center of your rose)
  • Using your inside hand, begin twisting and wrapping the bag around the outside hand in a circular motion until the entire bag is used. The end result will be this beautiful yet simple rose flower design.
  • Make sure to protect your space from the hot glue by putting down kraft paper or cardboard underneath your crafting area.
  • Using the hot glue gun add a small bead of hot glue on top of a small portion of the heart wreath frame at a time.
  • Adhere the paper bag roses one at a time in the shape of the wreath frame. Keep in mind the shape of your frame and do your best to position them accordingly.
  • Now that your wreath is covered in roses, you have the option to add a bit of color using paint. Take a chip brush and acrylic paint in the color of your choice and dab it into the nooks and crannies of each paper rose.
  • Allow the paint to dry or use a small heat gun tool to speed up the drying process. I love this one!
  • This part of the wreath is optional as well, but I love how it creates an extra layer of fun! Taking your 2" wide ribbon cut 18 pieces 6" inches in length and then "dovetail" each piece.
  • Using hot glue attach each strip of ribbon to the outside section of the wreath frame in a crisscross "Y" shape to create a border.
