Although we typically use paper and felt for most of our DIY crafts, we love getting creative with other materials, too. We have used wood veneer for a few projects now and love its natural look. However, we wanted the flowers and leaves of this wreath to stand out, so Meagan painted them using the acrylic colors linked below.
You can use the same colors we did for your painted wood spring wreath, or choose whatever colors you like best! Once you’re finished, you can hang it anywhere in your home.
Skill level: Intermediate
Crafting tips: Use a pencil to outline the areas you want to paint; you can alway erase the pencil marks that paint doesn’t cover. A piece of sand paper or nail file may come in handy to smooth out any rough edges from cutting.

@Kathleen Ryan
Back to the TopWhy do the directions say two pieces of wood veneer are needed when only one wood and one chipboard are cut? Thanks,
I think you can use just one sheet, but the Cricut veneer comes in a two pack. Meagan might have thought you can make the wreath two sided if you wanted to hang it on a window or in a place where both sides would be seen.
