Day Three - "Unfinished Desires" book wreath

The finished "book wreath"
 Just before midnight I finished my day three project for the "365 days of Pinterest in my life." Today it was a craft project - a wreath made from a book. It is on my Knitting & Arts & Crafts Board.

Per the Pinterest post, I made a trip to The Dollar Tree to find a foam wreath and one or two dollar books. I did not find a foam wreath, but picked up two copies of "Unfinished Desires" because I liked the rough edges of the paper. I went to K-Mart and found they do not have foam wreaths either, so off to Walmart I went. I picked up a foam wreath, a Hershey bar and a Coke. Back to home, I pulled out the glue gun and a bag of glue sticks, along with some brown craft paint.

First, I wiped brown craft paint on the edges of the paper and let that dry for about five minutes. Then I proceeded to tear every page out of the book. Next up, I rolled the pages and glued them, then glued them onto the wreath (for HOURS). It didn't turn out the way the wreath on the blog did (she folded differently). I like hers more but mine is kind of Art Deco. So, day three is "in the books."

All the supplies before I start.
