Book page wreath

Today it occurred to me that if I spent half the time I do looking at what other people are doing around their homes (ie, reading blogs) on actually DOING things around MY OWN home, I'd have this place whipped into shape in no time.

Huh.

Easier said than done, however.

One project I have managed to finish is this book page wreath from the great tutorial on Living With Lindsay.
I've wanted to make this wreath for a while but didn't have the time or energy (or clean counter space) before Christmas. Now that all the holiday decor is put away and my house is looking bare, I've finally had time to put it together.

Lindsay's tutorial is very thorough and I followed her instructions exactly. I used a green foam 10" wreath form from the Dollar Store and a paperback book that I bought for 45¢ at a thrift last week. My book was a trade paperback, but I couldn't tell what size of book Lindsay used. I watched her video on how to roll the pages but once you start doing it yourself, you figure out which way you like the best. It's very, very easy! I figure I used around 120 pages on my wreath.I'm very pleased with how my wreath turned out! I have it hanging over an old window on my wall and I like how the round shapes in the wreath contrast with the straight lines of the window panes.

Now, what to do with the extra book pages? I'm thinking something along these lines...
