We will use ordinary materials to make up to three wreaths... coffee filter, paper towel tubes and a discarded books and repurpose them into wreaths. Give these object a new life! Use the wreaths all year round.
Hi Monica! These are great. I have a couple of questions: how did you do the one in the middle with the red string? And do you have a template for the shape of the tags - the ones with the curved corners etc. Thank you! xx
ReplyDeleteSimone, Did I answer this question? I just cut a piece of rag board and then took red twine and wrapped it randomly around the board and tied a knot at the end. I have die cutters and punches to cut my tags. I have to cut too many of them to cut by hand! though you could.
ReplyDeleteWow! Very nice idea to use book sheets. I know where to use my printed Rephraser review pieces. I've gathered them too much in my house.
