Laura's Paper Flowers

I really enjoy seeing how people take an idea, change it and make it their own, Laura, who has a lovely blog, (and Etsy shop,) has posted pictures of her adaptation of paper flowers. I love how she has used book pages for some of the petals.

Just in Time for Christmas.

I started making and selling these sweet little ornament hooks 15 years ago. When people bought them they would tell me I needed to patent the idea. I didn't, and now I see these everywhere! They are very easy to make, I use vintage beads and wire from the hardware store, No directions really, just bending and twisting wire with your hands.

Book Page Wreath

Inspired by a wreath I saw in a Pottery Barn catalog, I cut a cardboard circle from a box I had laying around. I then gathered up a few old books and started cutting pages out of them. I rolled the pages and stapled them together in "hands of 5-6, then hot glued them to the cardboard. I'd like to get more books and add to the wreath as well as vary the size of the pages attached.
