Mothers Day Book Page Garland

May 6, 2013 By Meegan 5 Comments

Hello Hello!! I am excited today to share a tutorial for a Mothers Day Book Page Garland. It’s super easy and perfect for a Mother’s Day decor!!

So, here we go!!

Elements needed:

Chipboard cards

Paint

Stencils

Twine

Fan Folded Book Pages

Hole Punch

I found these fabric covered chipboard cards at Michaels (4 in a package). The package was labeled “Journal”, but I thought I could use them for a garland incorporating it with my book page garland.

Using stencils I decided to spell out “Mom”.

I used craft paint along with my stencils. Pink was just the right color!! Love it.

Doesn’t it look great so far??

Using the same technique as I did with my book page garland, I had a Mother’s Day Garland in no time at all.

Wouldn’t she be so pretty hanging above your buffet table for Mother’s Day Brunch or Tea??

Book page banners are so easy to make. I think your mom needs a Mothers Day Book Page Garland, don’t you? This garland would also be great for a graduation party, Father’s Day, birthdays, you name it-it works.

My DIY Book Page Magnetic Board

April 9, 2013 By Meegan Leave a Comment

DIY Book Page Magnetic Board?? Really?? We all know I am obsessed with book pages, right?? If, you didn’t know, you will soon find out.

I can not resist a book page idea or craft. I have been looking at my magnetic board wondering how I could change it up. It’s nice and all, but I wanted something a little more to fit with my other decor.

Then it hit me!! Use book pages!!

Here is my lovely magnetic board before. She has been natural, red, gray, and now hint of olive green.

I thought about using mod podge on her. But my book pages are 40 yrs old and very thin. I was worried about them tearing and wrinkling up. AND, I didn’t know how well the magnets would work through the mod podge.

So I used the next best thing!!

Packing tape!! I used small, rolled pieces of tape to adhere the back of the book pages to the magnetic board.

Using an old dictionary that I used here and here; I placed my pages staggered, so they wouldn’t look “perfectly” lined up.

I also liked using different sections from the dictionary. So the whole board would have variety.

Not too shabby, huh?? The pages are thin enough that my magnets will still hold cards, pictures and wedding announcements. I am really pleased with how it looks. Book pages always make me happy and a little obsessed!!

Thanks for stopping by and following me!! I love having you here with me along the way.

An Obsession With Book Pages

December 15, 2012 By Meegan 25 Comments

I have an obsession with book pages! Any chance I can I use them. They can be large or small. The older the better! Another fun thing about book pages is that you don’t have to spend more than a $1.00 for any one thrifted book.

You can give a vintage book new life by making crafts with the book pages. I have made 18 book page crafts (so far) to show you here. Each one is unique and creative.

Here are just a few things I like to do with book pages:

Twelve Under $3 Christmas Decorating Ideas

December 8, 2012 By Meegan 21 Comments

I looked around our home and realized that I have Twelve under $3 Christmas decorating ideas!! How cool is that?? Since I have so many, I thought I would share them with you, too!!

Chalkboards are such a fun trend right now-so make these super easy ones. Using clothes pins you can put them anywhere, even on your tree!!

Decorate a paper mache’ ornament. They are on sale everywhere right now!! I know you already have paint and glitter.

Buy a book from the thrift store. Roll up some cones and make a banner with stamps. Easy!!

Use an old pickle jar, fill it with Epsom salts and place your tiny Christmas figurines in it. Tie some twine around it, and even add a wire handle!!

Add some white and sparkle with a cotton ball tree!! Simple and a great craft for the kiddos, too!!

Using another paper mache’ ornament, mod podge your torn book pages to it. While it is still wet, sprinkle glitter on it!! Looks like from PB don’t you think??

Flock your own tree!! For a$1.50 you can buy “canned snow”. I flocked 2 of our trees. They look amazing!

Decorate your chandelier with greenery, sticks, pearls, and tulle. Bring some of your icicle ornaments along, too. Now your chandy is ready, too!

Copy some old Christmas Carole pages. Tie some twine and clip with a clothes pin to an empty frame. Wouldn’t this look great by a Nativity??

Make a book page garland to adorn around your tree!! Super easy!!

Buy a couple of birdhouses to bring the outside, in!! Paint and glitter them up, and viola!! Winter in your home!!

Speaking of bringing the outside in-bring in some old branches from a tree! Hang some birdhouses and icicles on them and you are set!!

I hope you have enjoyed and been inspired by my Under $3 Christmas Decorations!! You can always make your home look nice without spending a lot of money. It has been a delight for me to share them with you!!

Thanks for stopping by today and letting me share what I love to do!
