Attaching Paper Flowers to a Wreath- Stampin' Up! Video Tutorial Tip

 

Wreath paper flowers
Attaching Paper Flowers to a Wreath

I love using handmade paper flowers on my wreath for spring but I needed to find a way to attach these blooms without actually gluing to the wreath.  In this video tutorial, you'll see the method I devised for this task.  Doing it this way, there is less damage to the wreath and makes it easy to change the flowers.
