You'll need to begin with a rectangle of paper 4cm

wide by 8 cm long.  Choose paper with a bit of body - really lightweight stuff won't hold the
folds as well or appear 3 dimensional when finished. I'm using some nice old sheet music.

Fold your rectangle in half lengthwise ( keep the prettier side out if your paper is only
patterned on one side) to give you a folded strip 8cm by 2cm.

Fold in half crosswise so your piece is now 4cm by 2cm (like the one on the left). You then
need to fold down the corners at each end of the strip.

Hold your folded strip with the open edges to the top. Grab both layers of the top right hand
side and fold them at 45 degrees to meet the bottom edge. Then do the same with the top left
hand side.

You will be left with shapes like this. Each wreath takes 8 of them to complete.

Hold the first piece by the points. If you look carefully at the top edge, you'll see that there are
two little pockets formed between the layers of paper. If you imagine they are numbered 1 2 3
and 4, you need to slide one folded point of the next piece, between layers 1 and 2 and the
other between layers 3 and 4.

I wish I could just show you, it'd be a lot easier! But try it, it's simpler than I am making it
sound.

Push the second piece down into the first until the tips touch the bottom of the pocket.

Then go on with the third piece in exactly the same way.

Continue round. The eighth and final piece gets the tips of the first piece tucked into its
pocket to complete the circle.
Fiddle with them to adjust so the wreath looks an even shape.
