Old books are works of art on their own and we have shelves lined with them. Pick up a few extras during your next trip to the thrift shop or antique store and spend 30 minutes making this beautiful wreath. See it. Create it.
1. Here are the supplies you will need. Two books of with different discoloration works best, and of varied size. We used two paper plates, hot glue, and ribbon.
2. Cut out the centers of two paper plates and then glue them together.
3. Carefully remove pages from the two books then use hot glue to secure them around the perimeter of the plates as shown, staggering the heights slightly.
4. Fold the paper, without creasing it, and glue the other side of each sheet as shown, working your way around the circle.
5. This is what the wreath should look like at this point.
7. Allow glue to set then hang and enjoy!
Here is one with more exaggerated variation in page length.
This smaller version was made with scrap card-stock. Tacky glue was applied and then Epson Salt was sprinkled on to look like snow and ice.
We hope you will enjoy making these.
