Let's Make a Halloweeny Starburst Wreath

Cart Before The Horse

Step 2) Paint it black.

Step 3) Cut out a whole bunch of strips of your paper-bag paper. You want them to be at least 4 inches wide, and long enough to cover your wreath circle. Again, they don’t have to be perfect. This is crafty fun time, not math.

Step 4) Paint all your paper bits with craft paint in whatever colors you like. I needed about 60 paper bits for mine. Let them dry.

Step 5) Roll your paper bits into tubes. I used a roll of contact paper, but anything the right circumference will do; like a fat marker, or a dowel, or some rolled up magazine pages that have been taped shut. Roll halfway, add your hot glue, then finish rolling. Be careful not to get hot glue on your rolling thingy, it makes for all sorts of messiness.

Step 6) Repeat step five. A lot.

Step 7)  Using hot glue, glue your tubes directly across from each other on your wreath.

This technique would work for any occasion, or just to add a burst of color to a boring wall.
I hope if you make one, you’ll let me know.
