his year I have decided that our Christmas decor theme is...Drum roll please...
Paper, Wood and White!!
I've never been the traditional green and red kinda gal! Each year I have a different color theme! When I was single and living alone, it was usually either pink or purple! ;)
A few years ago it was blue!
This year my challenge is to try and use natural materials and items that are already in the house!
Today I made a paper wreath! I used a book that I already had, a little gold spray paint, and glitter!!
I first ripped out the pages from the book and free hand cut the shape into leafs.
I folded the leafs in half and put a just a little glue to keep it folded
I glued them to a wreath I used for Thanksgiving.
Figuring out a pattern was a little hard because I didn't want the leafs to smash or overlay, So I started in the front and filled in empty spaces as I went.
It came out perfect!
I love it!!
I added a burlap ribbon from fabric I already had!
Happy Thursday!!

Indeed it is perfect, awesome job. Hmmm...my daughter might get a kick out of seeing mommy take the scissors to the book...I might need to try when she is sleep:)
