Book Wreath

I have been loving fall wreaths lately. I especially loved this wreath by MaryJanes and Galoshes, but it was a little to plain for me. I also loved the pages of this book wreath by SimpleJoysPaperie, but overall, it is not my style. So, I combined the two and this is the book wreath I came up with:





Here's how I made my book wreath:

Supplies:

12 inch foam wreath
old book with several hundred pages
2 inch scalloped circle punch
ink pad
unsharpened pencil
glue gun



First I punched out my circles. I used about a third of my book and I think it had about 600-700 pages. I forgot to look.

Then I inked all the circles just around the edge.
ETA: The first two pictures were inked with brown for more of an aged look.  It's not as noticeable as the red.



Once all your circles are punched and inked, you can start gluing them onto the wreath. Place the pencil in the middle of the circle and fold up the edges.



Place a small amount of hot glue on the bottom and then stick it on the wreath.



Keep gluing until your wreath is full. I hung mine by a ribbon hot glued to the back of the wreath.
