To create more variation in your holiday wreath options, we crafted a gorgeous wreath out of tissue paper. For this tissue paper holiday wreath, we used the Holiday Cheer tissue pack from our line of specialty tissue papers. Our tissue paper is a great material for a holiday wreath because it is delicately dusted with a metallic shimmer that reflects the light.
The paper tissue pack also happens to come with the template for this wreath right in the packaging! You can find the template in the downloads below for reference. Or you can scan the template from the pack to save it to your computer for future crafting.
Craft Some Holiday Cheer
This tissue pack includes various shades of red and green to create an evergreen foliage accented by pretty poinsettias and berries. Other than the tissue paper, you will also need a basic wreath form that you can find at any craft store. Cut out each piece of the template to use as a guide for cutting your leaves and petals.
To give the poinsettias and leaves a bit of life, we scored them down the center. You can do this by simply folding the tissue paper, or you can use a ruler to help you get a straight, sharp edge. Use a hot glue gun to attach the leaves to your wreath form, and finish off your tissue paper holiday wreath by adding the little holly berries. The holly berries are small beads wrapped in the red tissue.

Hi Lia,
I ordered the Holiday Cheer wreath, not knowing anything about making this type of craft item. I do not have a clue as to how to cut all the shapes out cleanly. Scissors seem too big and bulky. And the pattern is paper, so I am thinking it will not hold up very well. I do not have any fancy cutting machine, nor do I want to buy one, since I probably will not ever use it again. I also do not want to become a member, since I probably will not be making any other crafts on your website. I guess that means I am on my own, because I don’t see a video available for this wreath. The video I was able to see had all the items already done and ready to assemble, how does this help someone who is really new to this craft? I ordered this wreath from Zulily, and their website does not have any details on this type of product, so I think I am out of luck. It is a beautiful project, I wish I could have known ahead of time that it would be so difficult.
Thanks for writing to us about this! As you’ll see in the photo tutorial, we used regular scissors (and we never cut tissue paper with a cutting machine, it’s too delicate). You can always try smaller detail scissors if those feel better to you! We included a PDF of the pattern on this post free to download in the case that customers would rather print it on cardstock paper, or just not ruin the copy included in the package. Another idea is to cut out the pattern and then trace them on the tissue paper, then cut a few layers at a time. Unfortunately we do not have videos for every single project, but the photo tutorial should guide you through, and we are here to answer questions if you get stuck! You can always email us at hello@liagriffith.com.
Hi Lia,
I am working on the tissue holiday wreath. I need some advice on how to remove the cut pine needles without them curling up. The tissue is so fragile that when I am removing the cut pieces they end up curled.
Thanks,
Laura
Hi Laura,
We would recommend using the light grip mat when cutting tissue paper, this will make it easier to remove the paper. Another tip is to try pulling the mat away from the leaf or pine needle.
Hi Lia,
Thanks I am trying that it works most of the time. Once you get down to the bottom of the mat it gets tricky to maintain a good grip of the mat and keep the crepe paper straight. Working on it.

Hi Lia,

Can you provide the SVG files for this project?
Thanks but that link only brings me back to this site. It does not have the SVG file.
