Paper DIY Winter Wreath
Sometimes nothing can beat classic white seasonal home decor for wintertime. Of course, white can also be a great home decor accent any time of the year. Last year we created a frosty felt wreath that we kept up in the studio all winter long. This year we are swapping the paper for cardstock to make this equally gorgeous DIY winter wreath. You can easily customize this wreath with any color scheme you would like, but to capture the snowy offerings of the colder months, we stuck with this neutral color palette. To add a bit more interest, we used various shades of white and cream for depth.

You will only need two materials for this DIY winter wreath, paper and a basic foam wreath form. Find both at your local craft store! Pick out your cardstocks and then choose which size wreath form you’d like. Another great option for this wreath is text weight metallic paper. When you’re ready to start crafting, download the PDF file if you are cutting by hand or the SVG to use with a cutting machine. As you probably guessed, we used our Cricut cutting machine. There is no real tutorial for making this DIY winter wreath, it really is all about the vision that you would like to customize!
Our top tip for creating stunning wreaths is always to make sure that the botanicals are pointing in the same general direction as you move around the wreath. Whether that is clockwise or counter-clockwise doesn’t make a difference. If you really want to make your DIY winter wreath pop, use a ruler or straight edge to create vein lines in the leaves. Our template even indicates where you can add your score lines! For more seasonal home decor ideas, browse here. We’ve been especially loving faux fur projects this winter as a way to add cozy texture to your home.

Leave a Commentin love with this wreath since years! this is the right time to do it!
really supernice!
grazie!
This is one of my favorites too! Enjoy making it. 🙂
And finally I’m a crafting member! This is the xmas i do it!🤩
Welcome!!! We are so happy to have you here. 🙂
What is the total size of this?
Please give me a rough size. (cm/Diameter)
It is about 35cm.
I noticed this cut file on Cricut design space. But it only shows cutting a single flower/leaf set. About how many do you need.
I suggest starting out with 15-20 of the smaller pieces and 25-30 of the larger pieces. It all depends on how big the wreath you’re making is and how full you would like the final look to be. I hope that helps!
u-u I would love to make this. I would pay money for it. But I dont want a membership. Is there no way to buy single patterns?
Thanks,
Lea
Hi Lea– we don’t sell our patterns individually. You can sign up for a monthly membership and then cancel before the month is up, or just after you have downloaded the projects you want to make.
Hi I would like to know what weight of paper/card was used ? I might be too late as my question is 4 after other comments. Thank you .
This was a few years ago and we made it with 12×12 cardstock. But if I were to remake this today I’d use text weight frosted paper– much easier to work with and give the leaves more shape!
how did you make the lines in the leafs?
Hi Pascale,
The lines in the leaves are score lines. You can make them using your cutting machine and setting those lines to score, if cutting by hand you can use a scoring tool following the template guidelines.
Could you use floral or straight pins instead of hot glue? I’m not having lasting results with the petals sticking from season to season
Hi Milinda,
We have not tried straight pins, however if you are not using a high temp hot glue gun we would recommend trying that as it has a stronger hold.
What is the best type and shape of wreath to use for the winter white paper wreath?
We prefer the green hard foam wreath forms (wrapped with white ribbon in this case), but a white version would work as well!
Any idea how many of each shape I would need?
Hi Mamie! We would start out with 15-20 of the smaller pieces and 25-30 of the larger pieces to achieve this look! It all depends on how big the wreath you’re making is and how full you would like the final look to be. We hope this helps!
So that’s what I did wrong on a paper wreath–didn’t have all the leaves going in same direction!! Thank you got that precious tip!
Oh good, I’m glad to help!! 🙂
Love this one!! It will be my January project!
Merry Christmas to all!,
Yay! Merry Christmas to you 🙂
