How To Make A Magazine Christmas Wreath

I seem to of caught the festive spirit very early this year and had a go at making a cheap and cheerful Christmas wreath out of old magazines .
It's very easy to do. 

You will need: 


  • A  large piece of cardboard ( good time of year to dig through your neighbours recycling!)
  •  A large bowl to use as a template and a slightly smaller bowl to do the the inner circle.
  • Old Mags ( again I dug through the recycling bin in my flat )
  • A stapler if your lazy like me /glue for the more patient. 
  • Pen/Pencil
  • Scissors
  • Glitter/Glue 
How to :
1.Place the large bowl onto the cardboard and draw round using a pen .


2. Place the smaller bowl evenly in the centre of the other circle to make the inner section and draw around .

3.Cut out to make a circle wreath shape.

4.Cut magazines into  even strips, go for colourful pages that compliment each other .

3.Go nuts! Twist,Curl,fold bend all the strips onto the wreath stapling /glueing them as you go!Add glitter.Boom!

 I found this real little beetle set in resin ,in the kids section of the shop Tiger for a £1.00.There are no words for how good this shop is, it has everything !If you haven't discovered it yet check it out at www.tigerstores.co.uk .

 I'd been keeping my eye out for an insect in a frame for my bedroom for a while but framed taxidermy bugs are quite expensive.I was lucky enough to find a small box frame in the charity shop for a £1.00.I used a sticky fixer to attach it to the back of the frame but a blob of blue - tac or super glue works just as well!
