How to do it
1 Cut out the stencil and then fold out the box that contained the kit. Draw around the stencil twice.
2 Cut out the semicircles.
3 Take two dabs of sticky base and glue the two semicircles together with an overlap of 1 cm. Allow the sticky base to dry.
4 Take the two flowers as shown in the picture
5 and carefully run a pair of scissors along the flower’s leaves to create a curved shape.
6 Take a small dab of sticky base and place it in the centre of one flower.
7 Place the other flower on top, making sure to turn the flower slightly to stagger the leaves.
8 Now take another dab of sticky base and place it in the centre of the flower. Finish the flower by placing a bead in the centre. Repeat the process for the remaining flowers with the same shape.
9 Now take the four flowers as shown in the picture, two large and two small,
10 and gently run a pair of scissors along each leaf to create a curved shape.
11 First attach the two large leaves with sticky base, followed by the two small ones, making sure that the flower leaves are staggered. Allow the sticky base to dry.
12 Finish the flower by adding a bead with sticky base. Repeat the process for the remaining flowers with the same shape.
13 Now find the three leaves as shown in the picture.
14 and gently run a pair of scissors along the blade to create a curved shape.
15 First glue two of the leaves together with sticky base.
16 Finish the flower by adding another dab of sticky base and folding the last leaf around it. Allow the sticky base to dry. Repeat the process for the remaining leaves with the same shape.
17 Now find the three leaves as shown in the picture.
18 Take the smallest of the leaves and fold it in half. Sharpen the crease by running a pair of scissors along it. Repeat the process for the other leaves with the same shape.
19 Take the remaining two leaves and run a pair of scissors along them to create a curved shape. Repeat the process for all leaves with the same shape.
20 Now start attaching the flowers and leaves to the wreath. You attach everything using sticky base and when you are done, allow the sticky base to dry.
21 Now attach the hook. Insert the hook into the cardboard with a generous dab of sticky base and allow to dry.
22 Now insert the hanging cord and the wreath is finished.
23 Cut 5 pieces of wire of around 35 cm each.
24 Place a crimp bead on the end of the wire.
25 Close the crimp bead by pressing it flat with scissors.
26 Take a leaf with the same shape as shown in the picture and pierce it with a needle. Remember to make the hole large enough for the leaf to be pulled over the wire.
27 Glue on two beads with small dabs of sticky base and allow the sticky base to dry.
28 Now insert the wire through the leaf.
29 Repeat the process with another leaf and create your own pattern. Make a total of 5 stems.
30 Put the stems together one by one however you wish.
31 Now twist all the stems together into one large branch.
32 Make a small loop at the end of the twisted branch for hanging, Cut off the excess wire.
