Preparing the paper

From the wide range of origami paper colors, choose the one that suits you best and cut the Paper with a cutter so that it is slightly smaller than the card itself. Then round off the corners of the paper with the VBS Round the corners. This small adjustment gives the card a professional and soft look. Use VBS handicraft glue No. 182 to glue the Paper evenly onto the double card. Make sure that no glue oozes out of the sides.

Shaping the wire wreath

Carefully remove the wire from the packaging and loosen the ribbons holding it together. Gently pull the wire apart. think about how many circles you want your wreath to have - this will give your card the right amount of festivity. Cut the wire with the side cutter, which is a special tool designed specifically for easy wire cutting. Thread a star onto one end of the wire and fix it in place with a little handicraft glue. Once the glue has dried, you can string more stars onto the wire to complete your wreath.
