You know I love vintage. You may not know that I love to read. I also love clever humor. Like this:
(I think you had to have been a teenager/college student in the 90's to appreciate it!)
Imagine how happy I was when I scored this at the thrift store!
Can you read the title?
The Metropolitan Opera Guide. And notice the date on the check-out slip on the back page of the book:
Pretty cool, huh??
I thought this book would be perfect for my first attempt at a book page wreath.
All I did was tear out the pages, roll them into cones, hot glue them to hold their shape. I then cut a ring out of cardboard and glued on the cones. {I used two layers of cones.}
Here's how it turned out:
I wasn't sure how to make the inside circle look nice. The pages were so fragile, they didn't make a nice pointy end, and I didn't notice that others cut their ends off before putting the wreath together.
I used my circle cutter to cut one circle out of cardstock and another circle from a page in the book. Then I glued them together. I used distressing ink to darken the circle a little.
What do you think?
It's hanging in my bedroom right now. Once I get my new bookcase, I may move it there. (Or I may just make a new one!)
Thanks for stopping by!
