I have been thinking about this DIY Book Page Waste Basket for months now. And have been wanting to make it for awhile now.
I finally got around to it. And, loving the results! It was easy and didn’t even take me too long.
Six Easy Fall Decor Ideas
Oh my!! Fall is upon us. The skies are filled with clouds and the weather is cooling down (well, a little). I thought it would be fun to share with you Six Easy Fall Decor Ideas.
Last year I chose to decorate my bookshelves and my kitchen shelves as a focal point. I decided to use traditional Fall colors in my living room and my bookshelf. Then I gathered blues, browns and whites on my kitchen shelves for a whole different look. Using 2 different colors and styles, you can see how easy, simple and creative Fall decor can be.
My first choice is going with all whites, browns and a touch of blue (you know how I love blue!)

Coffee Filter and Book Page Garland
If you haven’t been able to tell already, I like garlands. Mostly paper garlands because as you know I have an obsession with book pages. I thought you would like a little detail on how I made this coffee filter and book page garland. It hangs over our bed.
My friend, Dawn saw it the other day and said it reminds her of shells and starfish. I love that idea!!
I made the twine long enough so I could hang it anywhere.
Here is a close up of what my coffee filter and book page garland looks like.
I started out by making my book pages just as I did with my Book Page Garland. Super easy. And cute anywhere!
I shared How to Dye Coffee Filters with Food Coloring. Once my coffee filters were dry, I began to string my book pages and coffee filters together. Alternating filters and pages. In the end, I came out with this:
Of course, you could hang this anywhere. It would look beautiful on a cake table at a birthday party, for a bridal shower, in a bathroom, or even above your bed!!
I hope you will try making a coffee filter and book page garland soon and let me know how your’s came out.
