Paper Bag Wreath

Written by Cathy Carroll

Hi Everyone,
If you have been following me for a while you know by now that when I find a technique or a medium I really like I kind of go overboard using it.  Well, this past week I introduced you to a fun project using brown paper lunch bags and made some of the cutest little rustic pumpkins with them.

I enjoyed that process so much I started looking for more things I could do with the same technique.(Look out - I'm sure there will be more projects in the future.)  I had a Styrofoam wreath form lying around waiting to have something done and since it was nearly the same material as the dollar store pumpkins I thought why not.  I also had a ton of those lunch bags left over from the scrapbook store . ( I used to make small albums with them.)  Here's what I came up with - my brown paper lunch bag fall wreath.

I love it - I love this technique - I love the end results - I have just fallen in love with it all.   I don't have step by step instructions but you can check out the  lunch bag pumpkin tutorial .I used exactly the same process to cover the wreath that I used to cover the pumpkins.  When I was done I just cut some feathers out of book pages, brown paper lunch bags, and music scrapbook paper to embellish the wreath with.  I then added some burlap and lace flowers I had made a few months ago.  I don't have a tutorial for them so will have to add that at a later date.  I think next to my book page wreath this is my favorite wreath I have made.  I love working with paper and this fall has been so much fun putting some paper projects together.
You might also like the  Paper Leaf Wreath or the  Paper Strip Pumpkins I made.  Both are quite budget friendly and super easy to make.
What's your favorite medium to work in?  I love to hear from you so please leave me a comment below.  I answer all comments with email.

Until next time- have fun creating something you enjoy

Hugs,
