Living with Lindsay's Book Wreath

Living with Lindsay's Book Wreath

I am always intrigued by DIY decor on the cheap.

Living with Lindsay is a great blog to follow for her Teach Me Tuesday feature.

If you are a crafter and have not seen this beautiful wreath made of book pages, you must be living under a rock!

The second I saw the tutorial, Nugget and I were packed up in the car and headed to the dollar store. For two bucks, I had my goodies for the project. Okay, it was really five bucks because 1) I have this thing about having double what a project calls for and 2) apparently have a fluourescent pink "SUCKER" stamp across my forehead so Nugget got himself a Mickey Mouse Clubhouse puzzle for being patient.

This collection of appropriate materials and project commencement took place a month-ish ago.

Among so many other things, I am also very distracted focused.

So here are my materials, times two:

Then I played around with how I wanted to roll/wave/ruffle my book pages:

And when I was all done, I hung it up on my not-for-much-longer-chimney:

**You're not alone. I can totally see the holes here too. Don't make me feel dumb.

How poofy and fabulous does it look above my darling, and economical, clock from Real Deals?!

There isn't much time left to display the thing in our current home* but I had hyped making it so much on Twitter that there was no way I could finish it and then wait three whole weeks to compile a post.

Is it just me or are you as OCD about getting a project up the second you finish?

*P.S. We are moving back to my hometown on the weekend of January 8th. 3 weeks, 2 days, and 23.1 miles until total crafting domination with Rosemary Watson. You've officially been warned.
