Make the base
Draw a large circle on cardboard using a plate or another round object. Draw a smaller circle inside it, then cut out the center to make a ring. The ring should be wide enough to hold several paper leaves without bending sharply.
If the cardboard is thin, glue two rings together. Let the base dry before adding leaves so the finished wreath keeps its shape.
Print the leaves
Choose oak for rounded edges, maple for points, or ginkgo for a softer fan shape. Print at actual size and cut along the solid outer lines. A medium page offers six leaves, so print enough pages to overlap around the ring.
Try two paper colors and alternate them. You can draw veins using the dashed center line as a guide, but leave the line uncut.
Plan the overlap
Set the leaves around the ring without glue first. Point stems toward the center or all in one direction for a clear pattern. Overlap neighboring leaves enough to hide most of the cardboard, then adjust any empty patches.
This dry layout helps you estimate whether more leaves are needed before committing to a placement.
Attach and display
Glue or tape leaves to the ring from the bottom layer upward. Press each attachment gently, let it dry, and add a loop to the back if you plan to hang it. Check that the loop is connected to the cardboard base.
Use a dry indoor display spot. The tool supplies a digital pattern and instructions, not a tested load rating for your hanger or materials.
