Book Page Initial Wreath
Looking for a personalized Christmas gift? Or something personalized for your own home? How about a fun book page intial wreath!
I've absolutely loved looking at all the book page projects out in the blogosphere. While my husband was out of town a few weeks ago, I finally got around to making one of my own. For this design I was inspired specifically over the summer by someone who created a wreath using an embroidery hoop, except theirs had a fleur de lis in the center. (If this was you, please comment or email me so that I can include a link to your project!)
Anyway, this was mostly made out of materials I had on hand at home. And it turned out so great that I'm planning a trip to craft store so I can make some more! My husband wants me to make one for his mother for Christmas, and I'm also planning to make something similar for my dad. He's in the process of moving, and I think it would make a great Christmas and housewarming gift. And while I'm at at it, I'll make one for my mom as well.
And I've also added the wreath to my shop and will take custom orders for anyone who'd like one for their home. For more information on this, including size, features, and pricing, just visit my shop.
For those of you who love to craft yourself, I'll also be posting a tutorial for this very shortly. I'll try to post it in the next few weeks when I have more time. It's not a very difficult project to undertake. It was just kind of long and drawn out, and involved a lot of steps. Till then, I hope you enjoyed this sneak peek!
