Metallic Crepe Paper Leaf Wreath
Wreaths are a wonderful seasonal home decoration and one of our favorite ways to use crepe paper flowers and leaves here in our studio. You can find a full variety of our pretty wreaths for you to pick your style. For a new version, we’ve created this stunning metallic crepe paper leaf wreath, perfect for fall.
The Mighty Oak
Ready to start crafting? This metallic crepe paper leaf wreath features our extra fine crepe paper, available in our online shop. And we fused our gold and copper colors together to make double-sided crepe paper. Watch the video below in preparation to help make the crafting process just that much simpler. Or you can check out our latest mini course for making your own double-sided crepe. If you are new to using crepe paper and have a cutting machine, be sure to watch our Skill Courses for both the Cricut Maker and the Silhouette Cameo. These easy-to-follow workshops will give you all the tips and tricks you will need to successfully cut crepe paper.
Crafting tip: After you have added all the leaves you can glue on some acorns, which is a separate project of ours. Just refer to our crepe paper acorn tutorial for instructions on assembly.

Back to the TopI can’t ungroup.
Thank you,
I just updated this file for you. 🙂 Let me know if that does not work.
Thank you so much. I have been making so many of your projects. Love the flowers, I make the paper, felt and crepe paper. I tried your needle felting and I love that as well.
I love hearing that! 🙂
Hello- I am confused as to why the directions state to cut a 12×12 inch piece of crepe paper when that is not possible. The crepe paper is only 10 inches wide. What am I missing? Thanks for your help.

Hi! This was created a couple years ago when we had long rolls of crepe paper that could be cut down to 12×12 squares. But we’ll update the directions to reflect the crepe we have now!
Thank you!
