Up-Cycle a Wreath with Chipboard Embellishments

Hi there! It’s Judy here with an up-cycled wreath project created for Clear Scraps.

I am taking a wreath made several years ago and adding 2 sets of Fancy Butterfly Chipboard Embellishments and a Mini Shaker Flower.

To add color to the butterflies I first paint with gold paint.

Next I pull out a piece of patterned paper

Trace the butterflies onto the patterned paper and fussy cut.

Adhere paper to back of the butterflies.

Using the same paper as above, I trace the back solid piece from the shaker set and fussy cut.

Decided to add a few flowers, so I punched some out of solid color card stock.
