Book Wreaths

Upcycle old books by turning the pages into an interesting piece of decor, easily customized to any interest or season! Your finished wreath is a thoughtful, handmade gift for anyone who loves reading. Hang it from a door, above a mantle, or on any wall. Teacher Ingrid Spangler will guide you in deconstructing discarded books to assemble a wreath on sturdy cardboard rings. Wreath bases and book pages will be provided, but feel free to bring a thrifted/found book that resonates with you to use for your wreath (small paperbacks are best!).Beginner Friendly! If you can crumple paper and use a glue gun, you can do this!
