Time consuming but worth it, give new life to a falling apart book by using its pages in a hand rolled wreath! Remove the pages- easy if the spine is missing or broken, roll and secure with tape or glue, and fasten the pages to a circle of heavy cardstock or card board. This one was made from a children's book and 1950's UNC dorm directory pages, and was featured on etsy.com's front page, which was very exciting :)
Give new life to abandoned, unreadable children's books! Paper wreaths, scrapbook embellishments, Easter ornaments, and collage art make use of beautiful, vintage images. So go rescue castoffs at second hand bookstores and library sales, and have some fun!
