Book Page Wreath-A Follower’s Request

September 30, 2012 By Meegan 9 Comments

Book Page Wreath-A Follower’s Request

I am sure you have seen many book page wreaths around blog land.   I think they look very classy and creative.

I actually posted this when I first started my blog 9 months ago.  One of my followers emailed me and asked if I would post this again. Since she can’t see it on my old blog, I told her I would post it.  Here you go Mona!  Enjoy.

I think it’s is perfect for Fall decorating.

You will need:

book pages

a stapler and or tape

a cereal box

paper clip

This is what I started with.  Lots and lots of pages taped into a cone, and a cereal box.

 

I cut one side of my cereal box into a square.

I started adding (with hot glue) my “petals”.  Then filled in so it would be even all the way around.

 

I filled in all around the first circle of cones, then started with a second row.
For the third row, I tore off about 2 inches off each cone to make it short enough to have them fit without overlapping and causing bulk.  Almost done.
      
I cut out a 4 pointed star for the center.

                    
                     Love how this looks!!!!

 

How was I going to hang it?  Yep, with a paper clip!!
I clipped the paper clip to the corner of my cereal box.  But I didn’t fold the clip down.  I will use one of those for my “hanger”.
Here she is!!  She fits perfectly above our book shelf!!

Let me know if you make a book page wreath!  I would love to see your ideas, too!

Thanks for letting me share my Book Page Wreath-A Follower’s Request and make it a great day!
