1. First, you need a box as big as the wreath you want. Draw two concentric circles and cut them out to get a ring.

2. Stack the newspaper, fold it in half, and then cut out half of the teardrop shape. Once opened, it will look like a leaf. You can customize the size of the leaves. My leaves are about 4.0 inches long and 4.5 inches tall.

3. Color the newspapers. Once dry, pick up each piece of paper and gently crumple it into a ball before opening it.
