I LOVE playing with old paper...

My new paper wreath
I was home all day today and had time to craft a few items, this wreath being one....I've never made a paper wreath before but have admired those made by others.
Unfortunately, I tend to overthink things that I haven't tried before, instead of just jumping in.
But today I took an iron wreath form that I've had for quite some time and just chose a book called "Hearthrobs". It's a book of poems that I bought at a thrift store. I just started layering the paper into a shape that I thought was attractive. When I was finished, it didn't look "done" to me. So I took an old cabinet card and put her in the center.
Don't know what I'll do with her yet....

Gail, you are amazing! Your ephemera wreath is beautiful. I've never attempted one either and I absolutely love the way they look.
