Project Pinterest - Book Page Rosette Wreath

Sorry I'm a bit late with Project Pinterest this morning...Seth surprised us yesterday by coming home a full day early and PP had to take a backseat!

These gorgeous paper rosette wreaths are all. over. pinterest.
And they make me giddy every time I see them.
I happened to have some old-and-not-worth-reading books that were just begging to be repurposed into something beautiful...I was happy to oblige. ;)

As the original tutorial states, this is very time consuming, but oh so worth it!
I took mine a step further and used decorative scissors to cut my book pages....it really made a big difference in the look of the rosettes.

If you love this style but don't have the time to make it yourself, you can purchase this wreath in my new Etsy shop, Anthology on Main.



If you're planning to make one of these bad boys yourself, here are a few things I learned from this project that may help you...

Things I learned:

1. This project goes much faster if you cut multiple, stacked pages into spirals at one time.

2. If you use a straw wreath form you will want to wrap it in fabric to keep your home from looking like a barn.

3. Hot gluing a rosette directly to your finger will hurt. A lot.




Now it's your turn to show us what you've made!!
{Oooo! I can hardly wait!}
