A Book Wreath

I am so pleased with how this fun little project turned out! For awhile now I have had my moss letter 'D' hanging up in a little space in between my kitchen and living room. I loved the 'D' and I loved how the moss really livened up the space. But once I packed away all of my Easter decorations I just felt like the 'D' was out of place. So, I started pondering on what I could put in this weird space that I would not have to purchase. Thanks to BlogLand, I found my inspiration! Book Wreaths have been popping up everywhere. I absolutely loved the idea of replacing my Moss Wreath with a cozy Book Wreath! So off it was to gather my supplies!

Perfect! Found an old Danielle Steel book at Goodwill for only $.50! The pages, looked really worn, and the coloring had started to turn that beautiful antique yellow. The wreath form I had previously from another Goodwill trip, only $.39 for it. Score! So all in all this project costed me under a Dollar! Okay, so here is the run down:

Get your supplies ready, easily accessible

Next you are going to take a page out of the book and tear it in half, like so:

Take one of your halves and place the battery in the center, then wrap the page around the battery:

After you take the battery out, flatten out the bottom of the page (where the bottom of the battery sat in the center of the page) This will help you have somewhere for the glue to go. Now, take a dab of glue, then press onto the wreath. Do this about a GAZILLION more times and your Book Wreath will look like this:

I apologize for the HORRIBLE coloring. That kitchen window always seems to ruin pictures of this particular area.

But isn't it Fabulous!? And it was SO easy to do. And Cheap! I will admit that it was a bit time consuming and I made this wreath while sitting through TWO whole Lifetime movies, but I think it was worth it ;)

And the colors of the pages seem to work perfect with the other colors in the room. Here is one more spot so you can see how it looks in this spot in between the kitchen, and living room.

I love inexpensive, unique, and crafty decor! Well there ya have it folks, my Book Wreath! Happy Inspirations!
