You’ll need - MDF shapes, wallpaper scraps, thick wrapping paper or even fabric, pva glue, wire or fine thread, sequins , beads and ribbon.
Step 1. Apply a thin layer of pva glue, leave to go a bit tacky and then firmly press the wallpaper to one side. Leave to dry (a warm radiator helps speed the process up).
Step 2. Cut around the edge of the wooden shape so the edges are flush. Repeat step 1. to the back of the shape.
Step 3. Once dry, cut around the shape and if you want to run a thin layer of paint around the edge to cover up the wood.
Step 4. This is where you can get creative, take a length of wire and add sequins and beads in whatever order you like. To finish wrap the wire over itself or knot the thread.

I managed quite a few different variations with the basic wooden shapes, I turned them into a garland using wooden beads and sequins - I have this hanging up all year round. I also made a simple wall hanging with a piece of driftwood and velvet ribbon.
