When tree leaves start to turn colors, you know that fall is upon us. This fall color changing origami leaf wreath pays homage to natures beautiful fall show by creating a rainbow of folded paper leaves. A few simple folds and a bit of arranging will yield you a gorgeous paper leaf wreath perfect for decorating your front porch for fall. The perfect fall craft for beginning crafters!
Begin by cutting your 12" by 12" paper in half on the diagonal to create two triangle pieces. For dimension and varying sized leaves, leave one triangle as cut, and fold and cut the second triangle into two smaller triangles.
Begin by accordion folding the triangles starting at the long end and working your way to the point of the triangle. The folds should be approximately 1/2" wide.
Once your triangle is completely folded, fold the strip in half with the long edges facing each other and glue along the seam to create the leaf.
Repeat to make as many triangles as you need to fit around your wreath form. You will need approximately 30-40 leaves depending on how full you want your wreath.
Once your leaves are made, begin to glue them onto your wreath form using hot glue. Arrange and glue the leaves into place to completely cover the wreath form. Once full, your wreath is ready to hang.
