I started with the wreath foam from the dollar tree, glue gun, childrens books ($0.49 each at the thrift store) and ribbon (not pictured.) I later added some grungeboard letter and ink from my craft stash.
I cut the pages out of the book, and into 4x3 inch squares.
I used a pen to form the paper into the shape I wanted
Then added some glue and started applying them to the wreath. (this take a LOT of time, so be patient)
Here is the beginning of the process.
Here it is after I added the ribbon.
And WALA! There you have it, a Childrens Book wreath!!I should also tell you that I got thebook wreath idea from
showandtell Sausha
Thanks for looking!!

Awwwww, that's cute. Might try this with the word "read" instead. Thanks for sharing.
I don't think I could bring myself to rip the pages out! I've even bought books that are falling apart with the intention of removing the pages for art or whatever...but I can't do it. It's really cute though!
It was hard to rip them out... but I did buy them at the thrift store and they were in pretty sad shape! My kids would NEVER let me touch theirs.. but this is so cute in the Book Nook at school!
