Bring the outdoors in with this papercut grass wreath — a fresh, fast, and fun project that yields impressive results. Though it might look extremely intricate and time-consuming, you’ll be surprised at how simple it is to make with the assistance of a paper cutting machine. Of course we have also included a printable template if you want to cut this wreath by hand.

- Continue gluing the grass around the foam circle. Alternate the shades of green until the wreath is complete.
Tips
It’s a good idea to use multiple shades of green paper to add even more dimension to your wreath. We initially used both Fairway and Botanic from PaperPapers, but Botanic has since been discontinued. A good replacement for that shade is color #2 from our frosted paper Conifer pack. Our design yields two grass pieces per 8.5×11 sheet of paper, and we cut around 50 sheets to fill this 14″ wreath.
If hanging your wreath on a wall or a door, use a piece of string or twine. If you don’t have access to a paper cutting machine, do not fret! This project can also be cut by hand. Though it’ll take a bit more time cutting everything with a scissor, it’s still an incredibly simple process.

Thanks for the quick response, much appreciated.
I love this wreath and it was on my wanting-to-do-list for a long time. I have finally become a member and made it. Just one question, what kind of invisible hook did you use to mount it on the wall?
Yay, welcome!! We love using these hooks for wreaths: https://amzn.to/3pyv3nE, or any of the 3M Command Hooks.
What was the weight/style of paper used (i.e. 105lb cover or 81lb text)? Thank you!
81lb text!
Thank you, very much, for your prompt reply!
The SVG loads with a small strip on the bottom that wants to cut on its own mat, what is that and how do I get rid of it?
That’s our disclaimer/copyright information. You just need to hide or delete that layer before cutting 🙂
Hi Lia – I really love this wreath but am having trouble getting it into design space. I’m using chrome but it doesn’t recognize the file type. Any suggestions? I haven’t had a problem with the other projects that I have downloaded. Thanks!
Thanks Bonnie, I just revised the file so it should load just fine now!
Thank you!
This wreath is beautiful! A question though….how many sheets of paper does it take to make it?
Thank you! You can get 2 grass pieces per 8.5×11 sheet of paper, and we cut 50 sheets of paper to have around 100 pieces (give or take a few!)
Oh I can’t wait to try this. The bf will be so surprised!
Yay 🙂
omg — i LOVE it! Ok, so say I’m using the 14″ foam wreath … how many sheafs of that green grass cutout do I need, roughly, to get around that wreath? Just a ballpark number. THANKS!!

Could you tell us how many sheets of paper it took to make the wreath as pictured. Thank You!
Just about 50 (to get 100 grass pieces total)
Thank you! Can’t wait to make one!!
How many leaf templates do you need to cut out in total to cover the 14″ wreath as you have it shown? Somehow I can’t seem to find it anywhere. Must be the time of day…haha.
Thanks

How many sheets of paper do you need for this project? I don’t see where it states. Also does the svg need to be resized before cutting or will it import into cricut design space the correct size for the project? TIA
You can get 2 grass pieces per 8.5×11 sheet of paper, and we cut 50 sheets of paper to have around 100 pieces (give or take a few!) The SVG should upload at the correct size, but if not just size it up to fit on an 8.5×11 sheet.
