My Paper Wreath

I have seen many paper wreaths on blogs lately, so I thought I would try one of my own for a nook in our house that needed a little "pick me up"!! I had an old astrology book that I no longer needed, so I pulled out the pages and made this:

It fit perfectly in the nook!




All you need is an old book!

This project was fun, only took me an hour to make!

Paper Wreath

Can you tell I am into making wreaths lately? I made this one the other day:




It is so bright, but fun for Spring! I am thinking of making another one in ivory or black for Halloween and Christmas!

Here is a new project I found, only have to use wire and paper!

I found this idea on the Shabby Nest and love it! So simple, would be great for my collage wall in the office!


Now I just need to find a book to rip pages out of! :)

Beautiful Wreath

I love this idea of a ribbon wreath.. to hang inside or on the front door... I would probably make a couple in different colors for different seasons! I found this wreath on the blog The Urban Un-Martha, but it is originally off the blog The Long Thread.

Supplies:
  • 12″ foam wreath form
  • 24 yards 1 1/4″ black grosgrain ribbon (or less if using a wider ribbon)
  • Scissors
  • Measuring tape
How to:
To begin, cut your ribbon into 45 to 50 16-inch pieces, and one piece of 48-inch ribbon.
Tie one piece of the 16-inch ribbon in a messy knot around the wreath form by folding right over left twice, pulling in the opposite direction.
Continue this until you've tied all the small pieces of ribbon, pushing them close together in between.
The wreath should be full; if not, cut and tie more small pieces of ribbon.
Now, tie and knot the long piece of ribbon around the wreath, leave a long loop and tie another knot at the other end.
If there are any frayed edges trim them, and make sure the ribbon pieces are relatively the same length.
Hang up and Enjoy!
