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.
Can you believe this cost about $2 or less to make?
Last week I shared this post over at Dirt and Pearls. Thanks again Emily!!
In case you missed it, here you go…
Do you ever see things and want to make them yourself? I do all the time. That’s what I did for this post. I have been seeing empty jars everywhere. Then they are turned into vases, or candle holders with mod-podge and paper.
Today I thought I would share with you a Fall decor piece, that is super easy and looks great!
I have a jar that I cleaned out, then worked on my idea of what I thought would look good. Here goes:
My Fall Candle Holder will consist of: Old Book Pages & Homemade Mod-Podge (Homemade Mod-Podge is soooooo easy to make: 1 part glue to 2 parts water)
Please stop by for a visit at Meegan Makes anytime! I am also on Pinterest, Facebook, Hometalk and Stumble Upon. I would love to see you there as well.
Make it a terrific Thursday!!
Okay, okay, now that Fall is really here according to the calendar, I can start sharing a few Fall projects around our home. I just had to let Summer last as long as possible. I just love Summer-what can I say?? I started by making some Fall Paper Decor.
I decided to use my grandpa’s croquet box as the base. I played around with coffee filters after making the coffee filter wreath. I decided to dye some in tea. I soaked the filter in a pot of tea overnight. So I taped up a few book page cones-and started to play.
This is my final result. I am very pleased how she turned out. I used a few empty jars, filled them with my book page cones, then added my tea dyed “flowers”.
I made the “flowers” just like I did for the coffee filter wreath-EASY PEASY!!
I also added torn pages to “fill in” in-between the jars.
I REALLY like my book page flower-so I clipped her onto the croquet box. Great addition, don’t you think??
I was walking back from the pool and the pine cones caught my eye-just the right touch for Fall decor.
Now I have a little Fall decor with a little imagination. She looks pretty right here for everyone to see.
This is my view when I walk into the kitchen.
This is a closer view when I am in the kitchen looking into the living room.
I had fun add some Fall Paper Decor to begin Fall decorating.
What paper projects have you done lately? Please share them with me. I am discovering all kinds of different ways to use paper. It is a creative outlet I am really enjoying.
Thanks for following me.
Make it a marvelous Monday!!
