Materials Needed:

I have seen various versions of Faux Rosewood Wreaths in just about every store and catalog for the upcoming season; most with a price tag running upwards of $40 or more. Some are crafted of paper and other of real wood shavings. Last year I made a few rolled flower gift toppers from recycled book pages and they remind me so much of the curled wood roses I thought they would make a good substitute. {with a much lower price tag}Foam Wreath FormRecycled Book PagesLots of Hot GlueRibbon to Hang The full step by step tutorial I posted last year can be found { here }.Basically you layer three book pages together and draw a spiral circle. Following the guidelines, cut along the spiral shape. Starting with the outside of the spiral, roll the paper inward to create the flower shape. Give the wreath form a light coat of white {or light color} spray paint to help camouflage any see-through spaces. Hot glue each individual paper flower onto the wreath, making sure to put them as close together as possible.



It seriously takes quite a few roses to fill the entire wreath, however I think the finished project has such a unique look.

Total Cost ~ $1

{The wreath form was the only thing purchased as I already had the recycled book, hot glue and ribbon}

I’m off to shop at one of my favorite stores today, Pier 1 Imports. I can’t wait to report back my findings later on in the week!

The Sunday Showcase Party starts tonight! I can’t wait to see what you have been working on this week. {if it is anything like the past couple of weeks, I know we are all in for a treat} Plus, there is a fabulous sponsor this week I can’t wait to introduce!

Hope your weekend is off to a wonderful start ~ Enjoy!
