Directions:

1. Apply hot glue on the wreath frame and attach the fabric tightly. Cover every part of the frame with fabric.
2. Once the wreath is covered, cut off any remaining fabric and secure the remainder with glue.
3. Tear 3 pages from an old book and cut them in half. Round off the corners with scissors.
4. Cut the halves in spiraling circles starting from the edge moving inwards.
5. Fold the papers tightly from the outer edge keeping the layers joined.
6. Pinch the papers between your forefinger and thumb and twist them with your other hand to make a flower. Keep on twisting until you get to the end of the paper.
7. Pour some hot glue on the round tab at the bottom of the paper and attach it to the flower.
8. You can change the size of your flower by loosening your grip. It will untangle to create a fuller blossom.
9. Make more flowers till you have enough to fill the wreath frame.
10. Attach the flowers to the frame with hot glue. Ensure all the sides are covered.
11. Attach the beads to the flowers with hot glue or insert the pins.
