This week I'm going with a very Shabby Chic theme, of course using very frugal supplies, some from the Dollar Tree, a lot I already had and then some from Thrift Stores. My work room, me and the dogs are covered in silver and snow white glitter!
Supplies were purchased at the Dollar Tree and items on hand:
Styrofoam disc - $1.00 for 2Book Pages - entire book $1.00
Ribbon - $1.00
Glitter Wreath Ornaments - $1.00
Already had on Hand:
Crepe paper
Glitter

To start your project cut out the book pages with an exacto for a clean edge, roll into cone shapes and tape. For the outer layer I left the edges plain, but for the inner layer I added a fancy edge with scrapbook scissors. One you have enough cones just start gluing onto the Styrofoam disc. I used my glue gun for this. Decorate the edges with glitter for extra sparkle!
While I let the wreath base dry I popped over to the Graphics Fairy, my go to place for vintage graphics and found this stunning JOY to the World graphic for my center medallion. Save the graphic to your computer, I changed the graphics to a round shape and then printed on white card stock, cut this out and glued to the back of the gold and silver glitter wreath ornament. Once this was good a dry and took a roll of vintage cream crepe paper and created a ruffle using tape to adhere the crepe paper.
And there you have a very elegant and frugal Christmas Book Page Wreath, which I think cost me around $5.00 to create.
Happy Holidays and Happy Crafting My Friends!
