love it!
While I was at it, I carved up a couple of paperbacks. I was digging through my home magazine stash and found a Country Living with these in them and gave it a try.
I think they're fun and if you get tired of it just get rid of them. Disposable decor!
Last year I made my sister this gigantic book wreath. I didn't mean for it to be so big, but it kinda got out of control. I've learned to show a little more restraint since then.
I have just accepted the fact that my pictures are going to be shoddy at times until I get a fancy-schmancy camera.

I stamped gold stars with a smidge of glitter on the tips.
And this is the back.
I can't believe we're almost to Halloween. I don't really decorate for anything other than Christmas, so it's been fun looking at what everyone else has going on. Am I the only one that is too lazy to decorate for each holiday/season?
I'm Hookin' Up with HOH. Lots of projects over there!
TTFN,
You're wreath is adorable. I tried to make one but my first attempt didn't come out quite right. I must try again. I also have a hard time just watching TV! It drives my husband nuts that I can't just focus on the show. And interestingly I was going through my mag stash recently and noted the same book vases. We must be living parallel lives!

Oh a detailed tutorial on the carved out paperbacks. I adore them!
ReplyDeleteHow did you carve the book into a vase? With a Dremel?
ReplyDeleteYour paperbacks are awesome! I too would love to see a tutorial on how you made these!
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful weekend!
i'm with Laura, a tutorial on the carved out book would be awesome! I love each of your book masterpieces!
ReplyDeleteI so want to make one of those wreaths..I need to get on it. And I think your huge wreath is just right.

Those vases are awesome. So neat!
ReplyDeleteThose are cute! & that looks like the book I taught myself French with lol
ReplyDeleteThose book "vases" are my next project. Seriously. LOVE LOVE LOVE.
ReplyDeleteI made a book wreath for our craft day I had to teach at church, but yours turned out way cuter! I did an accordian-type fold, so maybe next time rolling is the way to go? Fabulous.
