Look what I made this weekend!
It's an upcycled book page wreath! Super easy, and super cheap! You can just take any old paperback book you have lying around (or if you can't bear to tear one of your own up, then you can buy a trashy romance novel at the 99 Cent Store), and buy a floral foam form of a wreath - also at the 99 Cent Store - and get to (hot) glueing!
This particular wreath form was not round all the way around, it had four sides. At first I was a little worried that it would make it too boxy, but it turned out fine! It cost me less than $2, too, so I like that.
I used about 3/4 of one 300 page book...I glued pages around the form first, so that the annoying green foam wouldn't flake anymore and you couldn't see if through the paper. In total, I spent about 3 hours on this project during a House Hunters International marathon.
Happy crafting!
