What do you suppose Pottery Barn and LaVyrle Spencer have in common? Hmmm??
I just got my PB catalog yesterday and as I was paging through it I saw these wreaths that I liked.
I went through the masses of books my husband and I have and found one that I really didn't value and would never look at again. (Sorry, romance novels don't hold a lot of interest for me.) So I started ripping out pages and rolling cones. I cut out a cardboard circle and used my hot glue gun to make a wreath.
I think it will hang in one of my kitchen windows. I hung it against a wall so you could see it better. I am thinking about using spray adhesive and glitter to add a little bling, but haven't decided yet. What do you think, glitter or no glitter?
Ssshhhh, don't tell anyone. It almost makes me want snow...

Oh, Glitter it up!! What a TERRIFIC idea! I am going to do this right away! Don't worry, I will refer people to your site~! Great job, and Thanks!!!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty! I think glitter would be a great addition! I've got an old book waiting for a project in the garage...I might have to get busy soon!
ReplyDeleteNice!I couldn't part with any books though! Amazing what a little glue and paper can make!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty! What a fantastic project!
ReplyDeleteVery creative! You could make and sell them on Etsy! I'm just addicted to Etsy these days. ;)
ReplyDeleteGlitter or no glitter? I think either way. If you did some, use it sparingly. Maybe it look like your wreath was kissed with a bit of frost!
This looks great. I love the way it looks in the window with the light shining through. I'm not a huge glitter fan so I vote for no glitter but I think it would look great either way.
