What a cute wreath. The directions are so easy and it doesn't take much at all to make. So it's very inexpensive and you can use materials at the dollar store. The only suggestion I would add is not to use it out doors because of its cardboard base. Here in Florida, humidity would kill it.

Great idea and so pretty! You could take this a step further and use pretty fabrics from your remnant stash and back them with stiff Pellon interfacing and also add so,e wire ribbon embellishments! Some metallics sprigs and twined coils would,look pretty here too, even glittered sprigs!

This wreath project seems to be very easy and my adding your own personal touches with the colors, or the size of the wreath and even the fullness of the leaves attached can change the design of the wreath. I would like to see more colorful leaves and perhaps add more twigs and vines. Using cardboard suggest this wreath will be used inside and add a pretty touch to a wall or door.
