Sometimes we want a DIY project that works well for a certain season or holiday. And this is one of those projects! The colors that our designer Krista used for this paper dahlia wreath make it perfect for both fall and Halloween. We can’t wait to hang this one up! Scroll down to see how you can make your own paper dahlia wreath.

Make Your Dahlias Shine

Our designer Krista used metallic paper from PaperPapers to give these dahlias a little shine and shimmer. She also used a black art marker to further darken these purple petals.

When you’re ready to craft your paper Dahlia wreath, gather the tools and materials below. We recommend using a cutting machine for this one since there are some intricate details. You can find the SVG file for this dahlia wreath at the very end of this post.

If you’re using scissors to make this wreath, we’ve also included a PDF template for you. Then just follow the instructions or photo tutorial below! You can also download and print instructions if that’s easier.
