My Webster Encyclopedic Dictionary Wreath

Be still my heart! I have my very own book page wreath! I've been ogling these gorgeous wreaths out in bloggyland for months so I finally went to my favourite antique/garage sale store and for $5.00 I bought 'The Consolidated Webster Encyclopedic Dictionary - A Library of Essential Knowledge circa 1957' and proceeded to tear it apart. I started rolling and stapling and gluing and I didn't stop until I couldn't push in one more cone. Love.

Love. Love. Love.
Love, I tell ya.


I truly love this and I thought it was fun to make!

Here's my mini tutorial in a nutshell:

I used a pen to roll the pages then slowly released the bottom until the top fanned out into a cone. I started out by gluing the tips but after a few I decided that was taking too long so I began to staple the bottom. I then covered the top of a large ice cream container with some pages and put a punched circle in the middle as a guide to keep the wreath balanced. I used glue to attach the cones to the wreath. I started out very methodical and had all the pages lined up perfectly, then artistic excitement overcame me and I just filled in until I couldn't fill in any more. One more thing, I made the cones smaller as they got closer to the middle.
