Hello, Cricut buddies! Jav here from Cut N Make Crafts and today I’ll be showing you how to make a paper flower wreath with cardstock and your cutting machine such as a Cricut.
If you don’t have a cutting machine, you can make this paper flower wreath by cutting out everything by hand using the free paper flower wreath template.
History of Wreaths
The word wreath actually means a band. Wreaths have been used since ancient times in southern Europe. They were made of jewelry items and used as crowns by Etruscan rulers. This symbol was then adopted by the Greeks and Romans.
The most fascinating thing is about wreaths is that the laurel wreath came into existence based on a love story involving Apollo. Later, the wreath became a symbol of power and achievement and was awarded as a prize throughout Rome and Greece. They are still worn by graduates in Italy. So cool! Had I known this earlier, I would’ve gone to a college in Italy because I just LOVE wearing wreaths.
The use of wreaths for homes started in ancient Greece as well. They were made from wheat and other harvested plants. However, in today’s tutorial, we will be working with cardstock to make the paper flower wreath to hang on the door or the window to bring in some fall vibes in the home.
