Just popping in to share another piece of my autumn decor, a dictionary page wreath that I made two years ago. I ripped pages out of a worn paperback dictionary that I used in high school and college. The pages had yellowed and were perfect for the project.
I decoupaged torn pieces randomly to a dollar store wreath form until it was covered, then added another coat of glue to seal the wreath.
The fun part was sitting down with a pair of scissors and the book pages, and creating the paper flowers. I attached them to wreath with straight pins.
I don't know if book page decoupaged crafts are still "in", but I love this wreath and plan to display it for many years to come!
Wow! The wreath looks amazing. The flowers take it to a whole other level. They are perfectly shaped.
ReplyDeleteAnd, your pictures look so professional. Really beautiful.
DeleteWhether it's in or not I think it's just beautiful. Great job!
ReplyDeleteDoing your own thing when it looks this good will ALWAYS be "in"!
ReplyDeleteIt's a timeless technique, it will be in forever!
ReplyDeleteI love making flowers with fabric scraps but never thought to try it with paper. Love yours and will definitely put this on my list of new techniques to practice. Your wreath is beautiful and timeless. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI have been on the net for about 2 weeks now trying to find cool paper flowers to make. I have left lots of messages asking how they made their flowers and yet nobody answers back. Would you share iwth me how you made your flowers? stillbecky2000@yahoo.com
