What a Novel Idea

This is called a NOVEL WREATH.... OK I saw this somewhere on YouTube and just had to do it... I had an old book, some duct tape, a glue gun, and a piece of form board.  A few hours later, this is what I ended up with.  I like it.  My one "problem" was, where to put it.  So I took down my other wall art, and moved it to the bathroom (since it was made of toilet paper rolls and put this one up in the dining room. 

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
