Book Page Wreath (Embellish for any holiday)


I've wanted to make a rosette book page wreath since I saw the one at Under the Table and Dreaming.  Then via pinterest I found a book page wreath embellished with bats at Vacuuming in High Heels and Pearls.  I loved them both so I made a similar one.  


You can find a great tutorial for making the book page rosettes at Under the Table and Dreaming.  


The bats were hand punched and then I pinned them to the foam wreath.  


My pins had a silver head, so I used a black paint pen to color them.  


After Halloween I can just pull the pins out and embellish the wreath for the next season or holiday.


Happy Crafting :)

    that turned out beautiful, it's simple but beautiful. I love the black on white look and I'll bet it can easily be changed to accommodate any holiday.

    Cleverly done! Love the "swirl" of bats. Easily adapted to other times of year, too. Nice job.

    How cute that you added those bats! Adorable! I know how time consuming those book wreaths can be, so props to you for making it look effortless! I would love to have you share this @ Show & Share!

    I love this beautiful wreath. I am loving anything made with book pages these days, and this is gorgeous! I think I will make one to hang all year round, (without the bats) and maybe color just a few of the roses. I am posting a photo and link to this project on my blog. I hope you'll check it out. http://www.bygeorgeyouvegotit.blogspot.com .
    I am also becoming a follower so I can keep up with all your cute stuff. Thanks for sharing!
