1. With the wrong side of one of the 6-inch squares facing up, fold the top left corner down to the bottom right corner (figure A). Fold all remaining pieces.
2. Stack all the triangle pieces. Lay the ruler on top of the stack and mark the stack 5-1/2 inches in from the left (figure B).
3. Working with individual pieces, fold the left point over to the marked point (figure C).
4. Fold the point of the flap up to the left corner (figure D).
5. Lift the small flap straight up (figure E).
6. Press straight down on the crease squishing it into a flat kite shape (figure F).
7. To assemble the pieces: Working around a 7-1/4 inch circle, lay the first piece down with the straight edge centered anywhere along the template. Place a small amount of adhesive in the center of the long flap (figure G).
8. Lay the next piece on top of the first. Let the left edge of the kite on piece #1slide into the space behind the lower point of the kite of piece #2 about 1/2 inch. Angle the top piece so the bottom edge meets the circle template and the top edges create a V shape (figure H).
9. Continue adding pieces in this manner, applying adhesive between each piece (figure I).
10. The first piece will sit on top of the last to complete the pattern (figure J).
11. To finish the project: Make bow loops with the wired ribbon. Arrange the ribbon and flowers as desired. Wire them to the folded wreath by poking small holes through to paper and twisting the wires at the back to secure. Hot glue can be used as an alternate method (figure K).
12. On the back of the wreath, place the adhesive photo hanger at the top center.
