Accordion Leaf Wreath
Add a touch of spring to your front door by decorating a wooden wreath frame with paper leaves and flowers in an array of pastels shades. To make the leaves, cut a square out of your paper and fold it in half, keeping the fold on the left. Using your ruler and a X-Acto knife, create a triangle by cutting from the top left point to the lower right point. Starting at the bottom of the triangle, fold about 1/4-inch and flip it over to repeat until you've created an accordion all the way to the tip of the triangle. Fold the accordion-folded paper in half and attach the two middle pieces together with a strip of double stick tape. Repeat the above steps with different size leaves and paper colors. Starting with the larger leaves, hot glue a few down on the bottom in different directions and layer smaller leaves on top. Finish it off by adding a few paper or faux flowers.
