How to make
Open the Cricut Design Space app and type "Paper Holiday Wreath' into the search bar and select the below Lia Griffith design.
Click "Custiomise".
Delete any elements you'd rather not use - we decided to remove the star-shaped leaf design, keeping things simple with three elements rather than four.
Customise the foliage elements by duplicating and re-sizing them so that there are a variety of sizes. Once happy with how may you have click the "Make it" button in the bottom right-hand corner of the screen.
Tip: Use the "Colour Sync" function when using an iPad or Tablet device to ensure all of the elements are the same colour.
Follow the on-screen instructions to cut out each of the elements, making sure to add the Cricut Scoring Stylus (or if you prefer, the Cricut Scoring Wheel when using the Maker) when prompted.
While the remainder of the elements are cutting, add Ranger Glossy accents to the circular end of the berry sprigs.
Using fabric scissors trim the hessian roll into strips measuring approximately 4.5cm wide, if you're using a smaller wreath base cut smaller strips so that the curve of the wire wreath base can be followed more easily.
Wrap the lengths around the wire wreath and secure the ends using a glue gun.
Tip: A heat resistant mat is ideal for keeping work surfaces protected when using a hot melt glue gun.
Continue wrapping the jute strips around the wreath until it's completely covered.
Once all of the elements have been cut, carefully remove them from the cutting mat using the Cricut Spatula tool.
Sort the cut elements into piles by foliage type, this will make things easier when it comes to constructing the wreath.
Start adding the foliage elements to the wreath base, securing each piece in place with a glue gun.Be extra careful when securing the cut elements as the glue will be hot!
Keep adding the foliage and working your way around the wreath.
Tip: Try to keep all the elements travelling in the same direction, i.e. clockwise.
Continue working your way around the wreth base until it is completely covered.
