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.

Happy Thursday everyone! It’s a great week full of Summer temps and activities. I had a blast sharing my DIY Vintage Book Page Pinwheel with the grandkiddos when they were here last week. They are SO easy to make AND they REALLY work!
You first saw the DIY Vintage Book Page Pinwheels a few days ago with my Easy July 4th Party Buffet. All this week is the Red, White, and Blue Inspiration Blog Tour with 16 of the most creative people I know. I hope you have been following along for all the 4 of July ideas you could ever want. Look here for all the details.
When I showed you my July 4th Party Buffet, I told you I would show you how to make your own DIY Vintage Book Page Pinwheel. It’s easy peasy and looks festive on any Summer table.
It’s also the 2nd Wednesday of the month, so it’s time for the Thrifty Style Team to share their incredible and thrifty decorating ideas. It is always a treat to see what everyone comes up with. I will have all the links to their projects listed below.

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!
I would love for you to join me on:
