Day Fourteen - A novel idea

Today I finished the novel rose wreath, which I have been working on every day for the past week. It is time consuming and tedious but so worth it. I think it turned out great.

I used another one of the $1 novels from The Dollar Tree. I tore the pages out then lightly painted each page with one of three shades of pink that I had from another project. I then cut each of the pages in half, then rounded off the corners and cut in a circular pattern. After that, I rolled each spiral between my fingers to form rosettes and finished with hot glue Then I attached what has to be well over 100 of them to a foam wreath from Wal-Mart. All I have left to do its add a ribbon to hang it from but I want to find just the right black or pink ribbon and I am not in a hurry to hang it just yet.

If you want to make your own novel rose wreath, the original pin is HERE. You can also find it on my Knitting & Arts & Crafts and 365 days of Pinterest in my life Boards. If you make one of your own, be sure and share your pictures with me. I added the pink paint to give mine a dash of pink, since I always need a little more pink in my world, but I would love to see how you make it your own.
