HOW TO: Make a newspaper wreath!

Hey y'all! Happy hump day!

Today, I wanted to portion amongst you how I made this newspaper wreath. It was SUPER slow in addition to SUPER cheap, 2 of the things that I beloved the most. It's been a oil calendar week over hither in addition to then I would appreciate it if you lot could proceed my household unit of measurement inward your prayers! 

So here's the in conclusion outcome of my handmade newspaper wreath. I LOVE it. And I conception on making a few to a greater extent than for our house. Wreaths hold off adept over windows, doors, etc. 

TIP: Wreaths don't exactly become on exterior of front end doors. Put ane on a patio door or the INSIDE of your front end door. Put ane over a pretty mirror inward your house... 

Ok! So, here's what you volition need.

1. Cheap Wreath. I got mine at the Dollar Tree. Just don't teach ane of those stick ones because that would travel super difficult in addition to that's non what I'm all virtually :-)

2. Any sort of pigment brush. This is to "antique" your pages. You could also role newspaper towels!

3. Glue gun amongst extra gum sticks.

4. Dollar Tree books. I bought 2 because I conception on making 2 wreaths. You could easily role a whole mass for ane wreath though in addition to then beware! It is exactly a affair of how "fluffy" you desire your wreath!

5. Coke. Or something to drink. Because you'll travel hither for a petty bit.

6. Computer to distract you.

7. Stain or whatever sort of paint. You'll role this to antique the edges of the book.

8. Scissors exactly inward instance you take away to cutting whatever edges.

Wanna travel friends? I promise, I am cool.

Ok, in addition to then equally you tin give notice run into below the FIRST pace that I took was antiquing my pages. I exactly held the mass upward in addition to painted the edges of all of the paper. These page edges volition travel the ones that are facing out whenever your wreath is done.

It was tardily hither in addition to perhaps I had likewise much caffeine because I was a petty likewise excited to possess got a photo.

After your gum gun has been heated upward in addition to you possess got painted all the edges of your newspaper letting it dry out for virtually five minutes, you're going to start trigger-happy pages out of your book. I KNOW, OMG!

Haha... You tin give notice curl them ANYWAY you want. I did a distich of dissimilar rolls inward my wreath because I didn't desire it to travel boring. HA.

Here's an instance of a roll.

And below is some other instance of a curl that I did a lot. I didn't fifty-fifty curl this one. I exactly kinda pushed the pages together. Just travel careful to non BEND or fold whatever pages, you don't desire it to hold off "to finished." I did this showtime layer exactly similar this all the agency roughly the wreath.

As you tin give notice see, it looks similar "crap, I don't know what I am doing" but it genuinely turns out pretty inward the end! I promise! I am ever doubting myself one-half agency through projects but don't create that! Wait until the terminate to uncertainty yourself, haha. I kid.

Starting to come upward together below.... As you tin give notice run into inward the photo, I got to a greater extent than caffeine. And I also was non consistent inward a sure enough roll. I did all of them because I didn't desire to exit whatever out. And you're exactly LAYERING similar a mad woman.

Now at this point, I even in addition to then had the petty donut hole inward mine in addition to if you desire to exit that hole that is fine! But I didn't. I wanted it to travel genuinely full. SO I kept gluing inward the middle until you couldn't run into a hole!

TIP: Before it gets all total in addition to pretty, if you conception to necktie this ribbon upward equally a wreath inward your home, become ahead in addition to add together your string roughly the wreath in addition to then it's easier to wrap around. You could also exactly add together a modest ribbon on the dorsum inward a claw seat to concur it! Sorry, forgot to add together this to the pictures! 

And hither is the in conclusion result! Don't take away heed the crappy picture, it was midnight in addition to I didn't possess got adept light! But I beloved how it turned out! OH! And don't take away heed the rope asset it either. I take away to become to Hobby Lobby in addition to teach to a greater extent than pretty burlap. Maybe my hubby volition create it.

What create you lot intend of my handmade newspaper wreath? That's my awesome door I got from a lady inward North Dakota who got it out of an quondam ND farmhouse. Pretty cool huh? I stuck the keys inward there...they are from Hobby Lobby but don't say anyone :-)
