Curling Book Pages Instead of Turning Them
Book Wreath, by Myquillyn Smith, The Nester |

Okay, so Monday mornings may not be the most ideal time to share a creative idea but I know we can do it! Especially if there’s an extra shot of espresso involved.
You know I’m a huge fan of Myquillyn Smith’s blog, The Nester. Her mantra immediately won me over:
Okay, back to crafting. Can you believe this wreath consists of cone-shaped book pages? Visit Myquillyn’s post from 2011 to see the tutorial. I’m blown away that she created this 36″ marvel in less than an hour. I may host a DIY wreath time at my house next year, but in the meantime, let’s find a book, remove the pages, and start curling those babies.
The laurel wreath on the right was created from plastic spoons. |
