2. Fold a computer card's 2 short ends and staple them. Flip the card over so the stapled side is now the back.
3. When you have a big pile, you can start stapling the cards ....pointy end out following a long the outer edge curve of the circle. Each successive row is stapled in the open spot between the 2 points like shingles. Don't be stingy with the cards. The whole point is to make this monstrosity of Holiday gaudyness as fat and obnoxious as possible.
4. I personally prefer a gold or silver spray paint, to make a nice background for the even gaudier glitter balls, elves, candy canes and tiny glitter penguins that you arrange artistically in the center of your wreath ....AFTER you wait a bazillion years for the 2nd or 3rd coat of spray paint to dry. Yeah, they never say it takes a bazillion years for things to dry properly in craft magazines.
5. After the paint's dry, try a few arrangements of your glitter stuff or boring greenery. But Mom! SPARKLY IS BEST! AND THEN GLUE EVERYTHING DOWN WITH WHITE GLUE.... AND WAIT ANOTHER BAZILLION YEARS for the GLUE to DRY!
Of course now there are GLUE guns to get burned on, but wait time is cut by a bazillion. I don't know how easy finding IBM cards is now, but I have seen them in thrift stores on occasion. I'm told big index cards will work, that seems sacrilegious.
