| Instructions |
| 1. Spray dark green origami paper with spray adhesive; adhere yellow green sheets to dark green, creating double-sided paper. |
|
2. Use paper trimmer to cut double-sided paper and construction paper into 1" x 5" strips. (Or, measure strips with ruler and cut with scissors.) Use white glue to glue each strip into a loop; alternate outside color on origami paper loops.
|
| 3. Use glue gun to glue loops to foam wreath; white glue may also be used, but loops will need to be pinned in place. Glue alternating shades of green onto wreath, overlapping loops approximately 1/2" to completely cover foam. |
| 4. Glue toothpicks into foam balls. Spread generous amount white glue onto each ball and roll in glitter; make 12 to 14 green, five or six pink, and five or six silver balls. Place toothpicks into scrap foam to let glue dry. |
| 5. Refer to photo to insert ornament toothpicks into wreath. If toothpicks don't go in easily, first poke hole through paper loop with needle or needle tool. |
| 6. Cut 5" length from wire. Twist ends together to form hanging loop. Glue loop to top center back of wreath. |
