Handmade Paper Decor

I couldn’t throw the pizza box into trash. Wanted to use the cardboard and here is the result of pizza box and the left over scrap papers :D

Very simple to make and looks lovely when hanged on your door or wall.
The shape looks similar to a christmas wreath, so if you are game for experimenting you can use this as a christmas ornament too..

If you are looking for an alternative to flowers you can try gifting this. It can be a nice keepsake too.

Here are the steps to make it:
P.S: Sorry for the image quality :D

1. Make Two Circles (Large and small as shown in the fig) on the cardboard/card stock. I used Pizza box here and tried making circles with plates :D

2. Cut the circles along the lines and use the outer circle.

3. Draw leaf shape on the paper and cut the leaves accordingly. You can make the leaves even with newspapers/magazine papers. B/W gives the vintage look.

4. Start sticking the leaves on the cardboard using glue. You can also staple the leaves.Try to roll the leaf a little at the bottom to give the ruffled look and then glue it.

5. Follow the curve and complete covering the whole circle with leaves.
Tie a small ribbon(You can also add a bow) to use it for hanging.
