3. Without straightening the sheet, cut each line starting from the fold.
4. Unfold the sheet and glue the edges along the long side of the sheet (its uncut parts).
5. Connect the ends of the resulting cylinder to each other and glue them.
6. Decorate the wreath with beads, sequins, bows. You can also use decorations cut from paper of other colors.

The process of creating a wreath from a cardboard plate will be very easy. You should cut out the bottom of the plate, and cover the remaining rim with green paper strips of the same or different lengths.

Fabulously beautiful toys for children

Creating beautiful fairy-tale figures will be a fun pre-New Year activity for children. One of the many paper toy layouts should be printed, cut out and glued in the places indicated on the template. If the child is still too small to cut out with scissors, then adults should cut out the parts of the toy in advance so that the child can later glue them together.
