Wreath

While I was at home, with "nothing" to do, I started making wreaths, out of an old Baptist Hymnal.  I made a large one for a friend, had some pages left over, so I made a smaller one for us. I still had pages left over.  I ended up making 3 small ones, each had a different type of center. The small ones I made on leftover CD's, it worked perfect, the circle in the middle made a perfect stopping point, for the center.  I might have to go Hymnal shopping at the used bookstores or at thrift shops.  If you have one you don't want anymore, I could try it for an all ready made wreath!  I am thinking of other things to do with the left over pages (covering a candle, adding to handmade cards, bookmarks, etc.)
Any suggestions?

What can you make with a.....

I started thinking...(I know that could be scary)

What can you make with a brown paper bag???

So I wanted to start and make a list... please add to it... and lets see how many things we can do with a brown paper bag....

1) a gift bag (a no brain er)
2) a background for a card
3) a book cover (remember those days way back when, when you had to cover your school books)
4) a gift tag
5) wrap a gift
6) luminaries (to line your yard on Christmas Eve)
7) a paper Album
8) a paper flower

It is the paper flower that I want to expand on... on many of the blogs there are instructions of how to make paper flowers.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KiezvAlEoak I have tried many types of paper, including coffee filers, and tin foil (that can become another list of What you can make with a ????) Anyhow the flowers I made with plain brown paper bags, came out great.. kind of a shabby sheik look...

So now it is your turn to add to the list.
Put your thinking caps on....
take care, Dolly
