Instructions

1. Prepare the book pages by tearing out sheets. You can choose to use whole pages or cut them into squares (about 4x4 inches). 2. To make the roses, take a square page, roll it into a cone shape, and secure it with hot glue. This will be the center of your rose. 3. Take additional squares and wrap them around the cone, gluing them in place as you go to create petals. Vary the size and shape for a more natural look. 4. Once you have several roses made, use green floral tape to wrap around the base of the flowers to create stems. 5. Attach the flowers to the wire wreath frame using hot glue, arranging them in a pleasing pattern. 6. Fill in gaps with smaller rolled paper buds or leaves made from green book pages. 7. Optional: Paint or ink the edges of the flowers for added color and effect. 8. Add a ribbon to the top of the wreath for hanging. 9. Let your wreath dry completely before displaying it.
