I imagine you are finishing costumes, buying,candy, carving pumpkins, or preparing for a Halloween party to attend. The excitement is everywhere. As for me, I am still in Fall decorating mode with my book page pumpkin with a door knob stem.

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.
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.
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.
