Making a Book Page Flower

Buy an old book from the thrift store cut out 2 sizes of petals from your pages. Use a small piece from a cereal box as your back, hot glue large petals around first then fill in with smaller petals.and a paper clip as your hook. Easy Peasy!!

    What a wonderful way to make something that's a little different. I can see using one of my old quilting books and hanging this up in my sewing room.

    That would even be pretty on a special gift package - especially if you are giving a book!

    Has anyone tried spray painting the petals before you glue them on?

    I linked my new blog post so you all can see the instructions. ALSO, I have see the petals painted after the wreath was made. Yes, you could use wrapping paper, use your own creativity with this tutorial. Enjoy!!

    I'm sure that I couldn't bring myself to cut up one of my quilt books, Katherine T.

    I've been quilting over 30 years. Now if I found a quilt book at the thrift store I might do it. It would sure be colorful with the petals cut out of the color pictures in the book. In fact the more I think of it the more I like the idea of a quilt book "boquet" for my sewing room. Thanks for the idea, Katherine.

    I only use books from the thrift store. The most I ever pay for them is $1. Irene, I think quilt books would make gorgeous flowers!!
