Hello everyone! Donna here to get you inspired with a hybrid project.

Although we don’t have fall where I am, it is one of my favorite seasons because of the warm colors. Today, I’d like to show you a project on how to create a simple hybrid fall wreath.

First, gather your materials.

• Cardboard (size depends on your preference)
• Printer, photo paper
• Digital kits (I used WOODLAND WHIMSY DIGITAL KIT BY: INSIDE PIXELS BY LISA BELL and AUTUMN WOODLAND ELEMENTS BY: RIVER~ROSE)
• Scissors
• Glue gun/stick (or craft glue)
• Ribbon
• Die cutting machine, metal dies (optional)
• Acrylic paint and paint brush (optional)

I already printed and cut some of the elements here. I used a 100 gsm photo paper for my print outs. Preferably, use fine-tipped scissors to cut through the intricate print outs. I cut all of these by hand but if you have an electronic cutting machine, you can also do that (I do have one but it’s under my craft table and I’m too lazy to pull it out lol).

 

This is optional. I just happen to have a die cutting machine and some metal dies so I used them for this project. 

I also used the same metal dies to trace solid ones. Another option is to search Google for fall leaves templates and trace those instead if you don’t have metal dies like I mine.

Cut a circle like the one in the image. This is approximately 8 inches in diameter. I just recycled a cardboard from a shoe box.

The background won’t show through but I still preferred the cardboard painted. (Ignore the messy table… lol)

Tie a ribbon and a bow. Then start adhering the cut outs. I used a glue gun because it’s faster. But you can also use any craft glue.

Continue adhering everything, making sure there is balance in your placement. It’s also like creating digital layouts, balance is key to a desirable outcome.

That’s all for now, I hope you give it a try!  Please join us in the challenge forum for a fun challenge inspired by this.

Happy Crafting!
