Accordion Leaf Wreath
Add a touch of spring to your front door by decorating a wooden wreath frame with paper leaves and flowers in an array of pastels shades. To make the leaves, cut a square out of your paper and fold it in half, keeping the fold on the left. Using your ruler and a X-Acto knife, create a triangle by cutting from the top left point to the lower right point. Starting at the bottom of the triangle, fold about 1/4-inch and flip it over to repeat until you've created an accordion all the way to the tip of the triangle. Fold the accordion-folded paper in half and attach the two middle pieces together with a strip of double stick tape. Repeat the above steps with different size leaves and paper colors. Starting with the larger leaves, hot glue a few down on the bottom in different directions and layer smaller leaves on top. Finish it off by adding a few paper or faux flowers.

Fabric Scrap Spring Wreath
To start, pick out spring-colored scrap fabric in up to 10 patterns, then cut into 10 14-inch by one-and-a-half-inch strips per pattern. Loop a fabric strip around a 12-inch floral or craft ring, right side out, and tie in a double knot at the front. Continue around the entire ring, alternating fabric patterns and staggering placement of knots. Every few inches, scrunch the strips together so the ring doesn't show. Trim any loose threads.
