Crepe newspaper together with tissue newspaper
Pipe cleaners or a thinner floral wire
Glue Stick

Glue Gun
Scissors

Floral wire (19" long) or wire wreath (12" diameter) already made (if opting for the wire together with making your own, but brand certain it's a thicker wire hence that it's strong)
Paper Flowers (once made)
Gold Eucalyptus branches or something similar (we picked ours upwards at Michael's)

To Make
We didn't accept footstep yesteryear footstep photo's for this equally it is pretty straight-forward.  But first, brand your newspaper flowers.  For instructions on how to brand newspaper flowers, watch our DIY Paper Flower Faux Tree tutorial for visuals.  To brand a cabbage rose follow the rose DIY there, but supersede the oculus of the rose amongst a ball of scrunched upwards crepe paper; but curl upwards a 5" ten 20" slice of crepe paper, together with hence scrunch into a overnice ball.  Glue gun the petals onto the oculus until you lot lead keep the size of rose you'd like.
For a 12" diameter wreath nosotros made:

five cabbage roses (4 pinkish together with 1 fushia)
five regular roses (3 pinkish together with 2 fushia)
iii pocket-size cream coloured carnations
2 larger fushia carnations
iii to iii eucalyptus branches

To brand a wreath, accept iii (19" long) thicker floral wires together with connect them together, creating a circle.  It should plough into approx. a 12" diameter wreath.  Wrap the eucalyptus branches around one-half of the wreath, wrapping hence that they are secure.  You could gum gun on to secure, but ours was okay without.  On the other side, start to house the flowers starting amongst smaller flowers at the altitude end, wrapping each bloom around the wires using the flower's floral wires.  For the smaller cabbage roses, if you lot didn't brand a stem, you lot tin gum these straight onto the wreath using the gum gun. Continue placing the flowers along, going larger inward the center, together with and hence dorsum to smaller at the other end.  And voila! That is it!
