It's here....It's finally here...our DIY on our version of a vintage shabby Music/book wreath.
Here is what you NEED:
- music sheet paper/ pages out of a book {25}
- glue gun/ glue stick
- paper plates or cardboard- this will be what you glue the paper to
- elmers glue
- glitter
- small piece of ribbon
- crepe paper
- notions of your choice
To get started heat up your glue gun and wrap around roughly 25 sheets of your paper so it creates a cone shape. Next cut your paper plate or cardboard into a circle I cut the ribbed edges off a paper plate so I have a nice flat surface to work with. Once you get your cones created I still use my glue gun and start gluing them onto the plate/cardboard. I start by making a cross {see picture above} Once those are stuck on there good I go ahead and glue cones in between the two cones {see picture above} I continue this process once more. Once you have it filled in I turn the plate around and fill in the back sparingly but where needed {this just gives it a little bit more fuller and 3D look!
Your wreath should be coming together at this point! Once you are finished filling in the back grab your ribbon and create a loop so you have something to hang it from {see picture}.
Turn around and create your center {focal point} I usually take crepe paper and create a rosette for the center...glue on....
then I usually add a notion of choice {can usually find these at any local craft store in the holiday section} In picture above I purchased some glitter letters and added the word JOY! Being its a JOYful season and all! I also had these cute banners that read NOEL! Have I mentioned I LoVe ChRiStMaS!!
Then for a little extra glitz I have added glitter in the corners of the pages/cones {see picture}. You have now created your very own gorgeous music WREATH! They are truly very cute with book paper as well! Would be great for the book worms during Christmas!! I think I know what my daughter will be giving to her piano teacher as a Thank you Christmas Gift! Let me know if you have any questions! Thanks for stopping by!
