This is one of those things Mr. Chocolate asks: "What made you think of that?" to which I respond: "Dunno...just did".
If you can't tell, I kinda have a thing for paper flowers and got the idea that they'd make an easy wreath. I've made a book wreath using the
scroll idea , but I thought I'd combine book pages and the flower idea. I didn't have any wreath forms but I had some mat board. I traced a circle using a plate and then cut out a smaller circle from the middle. I wanted it to have a finished look on the back so I wrapped the "form" with grosgrain ribbon:

which are the perfect size to fit inside bottle caps. Because normal people go around thinking "What fits inside bottle caps?". So I got out 9 bottle caps, put a sticker inside each, burnished with a dry embossing tool, and glued one bottle cap to the center of each flower:
