Fall Wreath #2: Book Page Wreath

Thanks For Sharing!

I was definitely feeling inspired after yesterday’s post on 10 Ways to Decorate With Book Pages, so I decided to jump right into making my very own book page wreath and I am crazy about how it turned out!

If you all remember, a few weeks ago I revealed my first fall wreath of the year and I definitely liked it but I was pretty honest about my feelings toward it. SO, I decided to challenge myself to make a new fall wreath that I absolutely love. And you know what? I absolutely LOVE my new book page wreath, a big L-O-V-E! I stuck with my challenge of only using things I had around my house or things from the dollar store, but this time I didn’t even spend a penny because this wreath cost me $.00!  Bonus.

I started out by cutting a circle out of an old box we had laying around and then covered it with book pages to create the base for the wreath.

Then, I made these accordion style flowers out of book pages (each flower has 3 small accordion pieces) and layered the flowers until they covered the entire wreath. I love how layering the flowers gave it some depth.

After the wreath was complete I accessorized it with some old buttons that my grandma recently gave me.

After trying out the wreath in several rooms in the house, I finally found it a home on a shelf in our family room! I’ve been all about big pops of bold color lately so I added some ribbon to top it off. The colors might not be for everyone but it works in this space.

After two wreaths in the past few weeks I think I am wreathed out for a while… quit while you’re ahead right?

    This looks so fun! Love it! I don’t have the heart to do it myself…something about being an English major and former English teacher won’t let me cut up book pages…lol. But I like looking at yours! :) I’d be so excited for you to link it up to my door decor challenge:

    It looks great. The buttons are the perfect amount of sparkle. Off to check out the other ways to use book pages.

    i LOVE this. I really like it more than the other book page wreaths I’ve seen- with the rolled up pages making a starburst in a circle. Your’s is amazing. I think the old buttons add the perfect touch. Thanks so much for sharing! I’ll definitely be pinning this one!

      I don’t, I’m so sorry this is a much older post and I don’t think I did a tutorial on it.
