One down

I finished one of my many projects for the year.  I have been dying to make this wreath.

Wreath 2 Are you wondering what it is made out of?

Those are pages from the 1981 Almanac.  I picked it up for $1.50 at the goodwill.  It looked nice and aged.  Perfect for this little project.

I planned on hanging it on my laundry room door, but it ended up larger then I expected.  Advice: if you plan on making this remember that it will be almost double the wreath that you put it on.  I put mine on a straw wreath.

Wreath 3

I found the tutorial here.

Final Project cost me $ 4.50

P.S.  Have lots of glue gun sticks on hand.  Oh, and 3 hours to kill.
