Paper...not just for your scrapbooks!

The 80's was the era of "country crafts" for me. Wreaths, teddy bears, straw hats boasting dried flowers of every variety!

Welcome to a new era of crafting...where simple is sleek, modern and FRESH. These 3 D stars would be awesome for trimming the Christmas tree, but here they are layered to create a one of a kind wreath! You can do it...go for it!!!
