Cardboard Tube Wreath

I am always amazed by what you can create with just cardboard rolls! This wreath was made in the fall of 2026. It is very easy to make and can be decorated however you like—even with children!

Have fun crafting!

Anleitung

Flatten a paper towel roll.

At the end of the roll, fold the corner up at a 45° angle so that the edges are on top of each other.

Cut the folded piece along the folded-up edge as indicated in the picture.

Place the part in front of you and pull one wing upwards and outwards as shown.

Press the wing down so that a flat, uniform dragon shape is formed.

Repeat steps 3 and 4 on the back with the second wing.

Fold this shape 12 times.

Take two of the pieces and slot them together at an angle.

Slide the pieces into each other until they fit tightly and secure them with glue.

Insert all the pieces into each other like this and glue them together,...

...until a wreath is formed.

Decorate, paint, and embellish your wreath however you like!

I painted mine with acrylic markers[Affiliate Link*].

Viel Spaß beim Basteln!
