I love crafting with items I already have. This beautiful fall-inspired book page wreath is perfect for my home decor!
Book pages are just the right thickness to use on projects as this. I do want to add that the book I am using was already falling apart and in disarray. I would not be able to live with myself if I destroyed a book on purpose. Books are becoming extinct in this digital age…sad! 🥺
You might want to look at how I made my fall-inspired book page and brown paper leaf garland. It matches this wreath perfectly! I am loving the neutral fall colors this year!
First I made a template out of cardstock to use to trace my leaves on the book page paper. I used plastic leaves I already had from a fall garland. You can use real leave from your yard to make a pattern also! Win!
I used Elmer’s glue to add glitter around the edges of my leaves. It really made the leaves pop! I think it will add just enough “sparkle” to the wreath!
Disclaimer: Only use glitter if you don’t mind wearing it, eating it and getting it into your eyes for all eternity from this day forward! 🤣
I used two different shapes to add a little something extra. Which is perfect because I have been called “extra” most of my life! Ha!
I added faux acorns and fall berries to my wreath. The colors go really well with the glitter!
Laying out the desired design. Unfortunately, I was so excited to get to glueing that I forgot to take pictures of the process.
I used hot glue on the low setting to attach the leaves to the grapevine frame. You could probably use a high setting to do this. You won’t get as much glue strings if you do. 😉 I would not use a styrofoam wreath blank for this project because the glue will melt your frame.
And here is the finished piece. I think it turned out absolutely amazing! Plus it was super easy and inexpensive to make! Yay!
