With fall coming up, I thought I would show you how to make a new wreath that’s perfect for the season. This frosted paper leaf and berry wreath is so gorgeous and so simple to craft. Our video tutorial breaks each step down for you, and you can follow along to make your own version.
Below you will also find the leaf SVG cut file, which I cut out with my cutting machine. This speeds up the crafting process, but you can also use our printable leaf pattern to cut your leaves by hand.
A Berry Special Wreath
A wreath is an easy way to switch up your seasonal home decor. And when it’s handmade, you can make it look exactly how you want to. You can make your wreath asymmetrical or full, use a metal hoop or a vine wreath as your base, choose different colors of paper, and so on. Really the creative options are endless!
For my paper leaf and berry wreath, I decided to go with an asymmetrical design and let some of the natural vine show through. But what really makes this fall leaf wreath special are the berries! You can see my technique for making berries in the video below (it’s really easy). I used about 50 cotton spun balls to make berries for this wreath. Also, I share a lot of other crafting tips as well in this video — including what to do if something doesn’t go quite right when you’re making and arranging your DIY wreath.

Ty for that info
How many leaf’s and berries did you use? I know you used one sheet for each leaf?
I used about 50 berries for this wreath. I just revised the SVG cut files include a full sheet of leaves per color. I cut 49 of the gold/amber color (ivy leaf), 20 in the purple (maple leaf), and 46 of the coral/pink leaf.
Thanks, Lia!
Hi Lia,
I see the previous post and that answers my question about the paper setting. I cut 1 leaf as a test and it was perfect. However, the score lines are missing. I don’t see attached score lines. Can you guide me as I must be doing something wrong. Thank you!
Hi Pilar! We have a video that teaches how to use our SVG files here and let me know if that works for you: https://liagriffith.com/craft-academy/how-to-use-files-cricut/
Hi Lia…what setting do you recommend for the cricut maker? I used light cardstock and the blade chewed up the paper. Thanks!
I do recommend the Light Cardstock setting. Try putting in a fresh blade for this. You can keep the current blade for other materials that are not so delicate.
Dear Lia Griffith Team, could you please recommend a paper setting that may be used for your frosted paper for the Cricut Maker? Construction paper worked well for 120 gsm paper but bunched up your frosted paper. Many thanks, Denise
Hi Denise! We’ve had success cutting with the “light cardstock” setting, with a fresh/clean blade.
I love your paper flower wreaths and it gets hot enough between my storm door and the front door to melt hot glue. Any suggestions what to replace hot glue that won’t melt??
You could try tacky glue! https://feltpaperscissors.com/product/tacky-glue/
when you make this on circuit, do you get 12 big leaves per page. I’m new to circuit!
Hi! For this project you will just see 1 of each of the three different leaves, and you can multiply them to fit on whatever size paper you’re working with (either 8.5×11 or 12×12). You will find this video very helpful! https://liagriffith.com/craft-academy/how-to-use-files-cricut/
