As graduation season approaches, many students are starting to plan their outfits and accessories for the big day. One popular tradition is to wear a laurel wreath, a symbol of achievement and honor. Creating your own laurel wreath can be a fun and cost-effective way to personalize your graduation outfit. Follow this step-by-step guide to make your own laurel wreath.

Materials you will need

  • Green construction paper
  • Pencil
  • Scissors
  • Glue or tape
  • Ribbon
  • Optional: decorative flowers or embellishments

Step 1: Measure and cut the construction paper

Start by measuring the circumference of your head with a string or measuring tape. Once you have the measurement, transfer it to the green construction paper. Cut a strip of paper that is approximately 2 inches wide and long enough to fit around your head comfortably.

Step 2: Create the leaf shapes

Using the remaining green construction paper, trace and cut out leaf shapes. These will form the foliage of your laurel wreath. Aim to create leaves of various sizes and shapes to add visual interest.

Step 3: Arrange and attach the leaves

Take the strip of paper you cut in Step 1 and start arranging the leaf shapes along it. Overlap the leaves slightly to create a full wreath effect. Once you are satisfied with the arrangement, secure the leaves to the strip with glue or tape.

Step 4: Add decorative elements

If desired, you can further enhance your laurel wreath by attaching decorative flowers or embellishments. Simply glue them onto the leaves in an aesthetically pleasing manner.

Step 5: Attach the ribbon

To ensure a secure fit, cut a piece of ribbon that is long enough to tie around your head. Attach each end of the ribbon to the laurel wreath using glue or tape, making sure it is centered and evenly distributed.

Step 6: Try on your laurel wreath

Once the glue or tape has dried, try on your laurel wreath to check for fit and adjust the ribbon if necessary. Ensure that it sits comfortably on your head without being too loose or tight.

And there you have it! Your very own handmade laurel wreath for graduation. This DIY project allows you to add a personal touch to your attire and express your individuality on this special day. Have fun creating and congratulations on your achievement!
