Instructions

1. You will begin by cutting out the shape of the wreath from cardboard. The exact size and shape of the wreath are entirely up to you. I made mine a traditional circle shape.
2. Even though you can get away with using scissors to cut out the wreath backing, you will have a difficult time when you need to cut out the middle section. For this reason, if you have a scalpel or similar precision cutting instrument, you will want to use it for this step.
3. Your next step is to fold a whole bunch of cone shapes out of your sticky notes.
4. You want to roll each in such a way that one of the corners of each sticky note becomes the point of the cone. The opposite corner of the sticky note will be protruding out from the end of the cone, giving it a petal-like appearance.
5. What is great about using sticky notes to do this is that you can make use of the sticky part of each note to hold the cone together without using glue. This might be worth considering if you are low on glue when you sit down to craft.
6. If you are worried, however, that the cones will not hold together, you can always apply a bit of glue to each one just to be on the safe side. Any type of glue should work great for this.
7. For a decorative effect, I cut the outer edge of each sticky note cone with a scalloped design. You can do this before or after folding the cones—whichever is easier for you.
8. The next step is to glue a ring of sticky note cones all the way around the cardboard wreath backing you created earlier.
9. After you have created that first layer, you will glue on a second one on top of it. Set down each cone in that second layer in between two of those below it. This will create a full effect and eliminate any gaps.
10. At this point, we can still see a bit of the cardboard showing through at the center of the wreath where the point of the cones are situated.
11. To conceal this cardboard, you can glue on a few more sticky note cones all the way around the inside of the wreath. Instead of gluing them in the same orientation that you did the others, glue them down end-to-end to make a ring. Once you have done that, no more of the cardboard should be clearly visible.
12. You can call your wreath completed at this point if you would like. If you prefer, you can embellish it further. I added a bird ornament mine with a twine attached to it.
13. Here is what your completed wreath should look like. As you can see, it is simply stunning.
