Autumn Craft Idea - Fall Wreath
Create a pretty wreath for the fall using colored paper in autumn colors and a styrofoam wreath. Lots of time can be saved when you cut the leaves out with a die cutting machine.

|
|
|
The wreath can be either hung up on a wall or door, or used as a centerpiece. Simply place a candle in a glass and set it in the center of the wreath.

To create this project, you will need the following supplies:
You will need paper and card in many different autumn colors, craft glue and a ruler.

Sizzix Big Shot
Sizzix Big Shot is a great die-cutting and embossing machine and has been around for several years already. Use it with dies and folders from Sizzix or other companies to easily cut and/ or emboss figures. Paper and other materials up until a DIN A5 size can be used with this machine.

Sizzix Originals Die
For this project, the “Tattered Leaves” die from Jim Holz Alterations was used. When this particular die is no longer available, there are also other leaves dies from Sizzix that you can use instead.

Sizzix Cutting Plates
You will practically always need these cutting plates for the Big Shot, no matter if you are cutting or embossing with the Multi-Purpose Platform or using the thick “Originals” dies. These help regulate the thickness of the stack so enough pressure is available to help the machine cut through the material.

Paper Twist
Use paper twist to cover the styrofoam wreath so that the white color does not show through. For this project, orange paper was used but you can also use brown or another matching color to your leaves.

|
|
|
|
|
|
Bone Folder or Stylus
This helps you create sharp creases when folding your paper. It can also be used to emboss lines on your paper as well.

Pricking Mat or Other Soft Mat Like a Mouse Pad
When you want to emboss your paper, use a mat as a soft underground to help make your lines more deep and visible.

|
Polystyrene Ring
Choose a flat wreath that is 20 centimeters or larger in size.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Paper Crimper
This is a great too to have to create a corrugated texture to your paper. This adds a lot of dimension to them.
