So I have been a little busy with some Christmas crafting. Most of which are for presents so I can't share but this was done kind of for myself. I sat down on the floor and start to make myself a paper chain like I did as a child, but the new and improve version of course. I used my beautiful scrapbook papers. So after two nights I have beautiful paper chain in my bathroom. And then I starting doing some research on how I could make a paper wreath and decided to go for it. I'm not very good with a hot glue gun I burned myself quite a few times before my Wreath was done. But one old book, a foam wreath base, lots of hot glue and two nights later I had my beautiful book wreath. I wanted to do something different with mine of course cause it seems everyone leaves their's oh natural. I sprayed mine with glimmer mist and wiped some pine green distress ink on it. I want to put a bow on it but I need to do some brain storming because I don't want it to be forever. I change my mind often and I want to to be able to change whenever I want. I think its because I don't want to put my wreath away. I can't even imagine trying to store it so that it wont get ruined. So I want the bow to change with the seasons. So I will update you later when I decide on what I'm doing. So I most go I need to get some sleep I'm off to NYC in the morning for Christmas shopping.
Pin It Now!

I love your wreath and hope you do use it year round. I'm sure you can "create" a "forever" bow to put on it too. The paper chain is a great idea to use up scraps of beautiful paper. Thanks for that idea. I plan to use it. And, I love the New look of your blog. It's very festive for the holidays.
