To make this wreath, cover a foam floral wreath base with newspaper "flowers." To make a flower, cut a 4" x 4" square from three pages of newspaper. Fold the stack in accordion fashion, trim, and then tie with floral wire in the center. Spread the petals and then hot-glue to base. Repeat steps until wreath base is covered; you will need about 40 flowers.
For the bow, cut several 12" paper strips. Form loops with each strip, gather a bouquet, and secure with wire. For streamers, cut long strips and fold in accordion fashion. Hot-glue bow and streamers to wreath.
