Putting Down Roots: I Bought My First Glue Gun for This One!

Well, you've probably seen lots of these book wreaths all over blog world & Pinterest, but I'm going to show you how mine turned out anyways. I used this very thorough tutorial. It's takes about two hours, but it's not difficult.

Here is a picture of the backside of the wreath.

I used a 10" foam wreath {Hobby Lobby} like the one Emily from Jones Design Company used on her wreath. I used an old hymnal that I found. The book was on the smaller side {7 1/2" X 5"}, but it worked out great. I probably used about 150 pages, so that would mean that you will need about a 300 page book. However, if your book is bigger, then you might not need as many pages. I used about 20 {small} sticks of glue on this sucker!

I usually steer clear of projects that are too artsy-crafty, but this one really wasn't that bad. It's a great late-night project because it's not hard to figure out with Emily's awesome step-by-step instructions/pictures. And once you figure it out, it's just rolling 'n' gluing, rolling 'n' gluing.
