Wreath Craft - Book Wreath

Have an old book with yellowed pages hanging around? If so, you can make a fun wreath out of it, newsprint crafts are SO HOT right now. (If not, a quick trip to the Goodwill might help you there!)

I even had gold paint, so I painted around the pages edges while the book pages were still together to give it an extra-antiqued look. Turned out great! But I forgot to take a finished photo! Will have to do that and update this post soon!

Please enjoy a half-way there photo!





Hot-glue that sucker. Surprisingly fast!

What you need:

-Old book with yellowed pages, preferably not too long. The book I used was about 7 inches tall.

-Cardboard cut into a circle with diameters of 5 inches (inner) and 7 inches (outer). I just used an old box sitting nearby.

-Gold paint is optional.

-Hot glue gun and lots of glue sticks.

Roll your paper uniformly and it will look good. Do three rows. For the innermost row I did a fancier pointed roll facing outward to give a lovely "sunburst" effect.

This craft ended up looking like one of those cool sun or mirror clocks that looks so great on the wall, the sunburst. I want to put a circular mirror on mine and hang it over the mantel or something!

Thanks to Oliver Twist by Dickens. (I have another copy, so the superfluous one got crafted. Kinda like being pwned! Crafted!)

Baby Towel Tug and Chew Square

I really don't know what to call one of these things. But I made one for a friend who is having a baby. During both of their ultrasounds, the baby wouldn't show his/her parts so they have no idea if they are having a boy or a girl! Kinda wacky and exciting! So I tried to stay gender neutral, and I heard later that they are doing a duckie theme in their nursery, so the yellow will fit in extra well! :-) Congrats Jess! Have some useful crafts!




How to make:

-Soft flannel, I got non-pill forming kind. About 1'x1'.

-Pieces of ribbon. I hear that grosgrain works great for this, but I don't have a lot of that kind of ribbon. 3'' or 4'' long.

-I did an inside-out kind of trick with the ribbon so that when I turned out the towel toward the end the ribbon was good to go.

Do I think this is the prettiest one? No. I would totally improve it and make it better and cuter. Learn from me and make yours amazing!

Quick and Fun!

Launching Quite Possibly Crafts

Hello!

This is my crafting blog. It isn't much right now, but I hope that it will serve as a research and log tool for the crafts that I might quite possibly do. This blog began as a Facebook Album where I would upload fun craft photos that I or someone else I knew has made. I will either include instructions or links to instructions.

Happy Crafting!
