Paper Feather Wreath...



When I saw how to make a paper feather wreath on Thistlewood Farm,
I loved it.
 I decided to give it a try since I already had everything I needed to make one.
(a grapevine wreath, some sort of paper, a glue gun and glue sticks)


Years ago I bought an old hymnal at the thrift store and have used it for many projects,
including decoupaging the top of my desk with the pages.
I cut out the paper feathers from the hymnal pages.


When I look at my wreath compared to the one KariAnne made,
I think I made mine too full.
At least it was free and a fun and simple project to make,
imperfect as mine is!



still following,

  4. Hi Elizabeth! I have a dear friend who is a musician...this would be such an awesome gift for her. I love the repurposing of the music sheets too. I'll have to keep my eyes open for books like that at resales.
    Inspired!

    1. It's so easy and doesn't take a lot of time. Old hymnals are pretty easy to find at the Goodwill or Salvation Army. I hope you do make one for your friend. If you do, let me know!
