So a few days ago I shared my crazy paper wreath that I was a bit nervous about how it was going to turn out... well, here's the finished project and I ended up liking it enough to actually hang it on my wall!
I ended up spraying a bit of Tattered Angels Mist onto it to add a bit of color. I used the colors Coffee Shop and a bit of Lime Green although what green I did spray I tried to cover most of it with the coffee shop because it was a bit too much.
One of the best parts of this project to me is that I used stuff I already had sitting around. The wreath I had purchased a couple of years ago intending to do another wreath project I never got around too. I used a couple of books I had just sitting in storage I didn't think I would ever read again, and then of course the hot glue and mists I already had as well! I LOVE that!! The other best part was that my 4 year old daughter and I worked on this together. She did a large majority of the rolling up of the book paper. I think she was excited to see it hanging up as well.
It really is fun and rewarding to see my own work grace the walls of our home. What a great and inexpensive way to make it ours! You will definitely be seeing more home decor projects from me soon!

Hi valechula! The pink woodgrain is the B side from Basic Grey's Eskimo Kisses Woodland Paper.
Hey Alicia! Fun to see you in the blog world! Thanks for stopping by!
LOVE this!!! Sooo cute and cool. Thanks for sharing the link. I might just have to steal this idea. Looks fabulous. Oh, when did you get a piano? Did you learn to play without me knowing? (=
Just got the piano a month or two ago. It used to be at my parents and they were looking to give it away and we volunteered to take it off their hands!
