Eternity Ring

Fashion an everlasting pansy wreath to dress up a door or brighten a mantel. Press and dry pansies to photocopy, or simply place fresh blossoms on your scanner bed and cover with a sheet of white paper. Greeting cards, stationery, scrapbook paper and patterns found online or at a crafts store also are good sources for this project. Cut around the blossom images and arrange them in a circular shape on a narrow wooden wreath form, securing them in place with common straight pins. If you desire a three-dimensional look, fold some of the top blossoms to provide depth and interest. For a more permanent application, use decoupage medium to adhere the paper flowers to the wreath form or another surface.
