Here is a book wreath project we've been working on. The wreath is inspired by the lovely magnolia wreaths we see around the holidays, as well as by the local Japan Town aesthetic.
The colors and style were kept simple, with some Japanese wrapping paper and apple green burlap thrown in for texture.
Photographing the wreath turned out to be a challenge, as we can't put holes in the walls in our building, and natural light was fading fast.
I love how the different textures work together.
The tutorial is in the works, so be sure to hit "follow" in the side bar, so you will be sure not to miss it!

I'm glad you put this together. I've been thinking of a book page wreath like this. I love that you used magnolia leaves.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the visit, I didn't scroll down earlier to see your "book star!" AWESOME! My boys can't come home for Thanksgiving either they have to work, they are both in college in Texas. At least they have each other (their roomies). I don't know where the time went either! I was a stressed out mommy running around with my head cut off just yesterday. Now I just am a worrier.. lol. Did I tell you, you are my new favorite blog?
