vintage style, cottage living, home cooking
Happy Monday everyone. I hope you had a wonderful weekend. I most certainly did. I had visits to the pool, a date with my Hubby, and painting some “new” thrifted pieces of furniture. I can’t wait to show you what I have been up to. BUT, today I have a Book Page Crafts Board just for you. It is filled with book page crafts chosen just for you AND made by me.
I started making book page crafts years ago. I have always felt that making a book page craft gives a worn and torn book new life.
I finally got around to it. And, loving the results! It was easy and didn’t even take me too long.
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.
Thanks for joining me today! It is always a pleasure to have you here!

Isn’t it a beautiful Spring day? I am in California helping my mom recover from a hip replacement surgery. She is slowly recovering, but doing really well. I am enjoying the green hills and the birds singing while I am here. And, of course the quality time I am having with my mom. I am also excited to spend Easter with some of our sweet grand kiddos.
If you know me, you know I like vintage and book pages, right? Well, I have the ideal book page bird nest for your Easter table or for anytime of year. This is MY version of a DIY Book Page Bird Nest. 
Isn’t it sweet?

Let me share with you how I made my book page bird nest.
