Old book page wall art

I've seen old book page wreaths in stores,

and I love them.

I already had an old book

and was using the pages

 to create mixed media art.

I used the rest of it to make this

flower/wreath below.

I just used what I had...

a piece of foamcore board,

an old book, and

a pinecone for the center.

I just tore the pages from the book,

rolled them into cones,

and hot glued them onto different sized circles

that I drew on the foamcore.

I used at least a hundred cones for this one.

Then I hot glued the pinecone in the center.

Doesn't take long really,

once you get used to making the cones.

Also be sure you have a good hot glue gun.

Mine quit working in the middle of this project

and I had to manually push the glue through the gun.

This project can be done many different ways,

and I'm sure there are plenty of how-to's

to be found.

Try making one yourself,

and let me know how it turns out!

Savor the day!
