a keepsake

Hello you! I saw this on Pinterest & knew I wanted to make it. I move a lot...and I can't take a door frame with me... well, I could, but that's not nice. I made this for under $20.

Book wreath

Hi girls! So are you looking for something to fill up space on a wall? Particularly low budget and easy? I spotted this cute wreath on Pinterest.

Follow this tutorial.

 

 

However, I'm adding a couple notes... I didn't find a foam wreath at the Dollar Store. I went to Michael's and used a 40% off coupon. I used a 12 inch wreath. I rolled all of my pages. I used 1 and a half books. The books were approx. 300 pages. Yeup, that is A LOT of pages.

 

I had my wreath up for about 2 weeks and couldn't get past the stiff look. I took action, threw my wreath on the floor and sat on it. I squished it with my hands. Some of the rolled pages came unglued and I had to reglue them. I also moved it to a different wall.

Better!! And I love that it cost me about $10.

I love Pinterest! {Who doesn't?!} I had seen a pin with a plate glued to a candlestick holder {from Natalme}. Cute huh?!

So while I was at the thrift store, I came across these beauties! The larger one was $1 and the small one for $0.75. SOLD!!

 

 

 

I glued them together using Gorilla glue. Here are a couple ways to use them...

This is my favorite...
