4. Giant Layered Paper Dahlia Wreath
Made from dozens of rolled paper cones or stacked petal tiers, this large-scale wall medallion creates an eye-catching focal point over fireplaces or consoles.
- What This Idea Means: A bold floral-inspired geometric wall installation with rich radial symmetry and deep depth.
- Materials Needed: Thick cardstock (160–200 GSM) in ombre hues, circular chipboard base (14–18 inches), glue gun, glue sticks, hanging wire.
- How to Make It:
- Cut cardstock into squares ranging from 5×5 inches down to 3×3 inches.
- Roll each square into a cone shape and secure the seam with a dot of hot glue.
- Starting from the outer rim of the chipboard base, glue the largest cones in a dense circular ring.
- Layer successively smaller cones inward toward the center, closing the focal point with tightly clustered mini-cones.
- Tips & Variations: Try a modern ombre gradient transitioning from warm ivory at the center out to deep espresso or warm slate at the perimeter.
