Book Page Wreath

I found a cute wreath tutorial at Living with Lindsey so when I went garage sailing last weekend I had my eyes open for wreath forms and paperback books.  I ended up with a straw Christmas wreath that I stripped bare, and a book about Princes Grace (I didn't want anyone admiring my wreath to think I allowed trashy romance novels in even if I wasn't going to read it).  The only thing I changed from the tutorial was to tie my hanging ribbon on before I started gluing pages (I used about 350 pages), and I covered the back with smashed page tubes as you can see in the last pic.

Here's how mine turned out...

I am going to be hanging this wreath in a window, so I did this to hid the back of the wreath.
