Happy Memorial Day Weekend!

 I had an extra long weekend and it has been SO nice! My hubby even stayed home today. We didn't really do anything special, just cleaning, mowing the lawn and catching up. I am trying to catch up on posting my fun crafts, but first I saw this fun tutorial on how to curl your hair with your hair straightener. Hop on over to A Few of My Favorite Things and check out Jessica's tutorial. I have a wide hair straightener, so now I'm on a mission to find one like Jessica's....maybe on my lunch break tomorrow. :o)
 So here are the wreaths I have made.....quite inexpensive. I got the idea for the first one from Sarah at Create Studio.  The supplies I used were my glue gun and an old book from college.

 ~Who knew I would be making crafts out of my school books one day.~

Then here is the second wreath and I got this idea from Amy at the Idea Room. For this wreath, the supplies I used were a Styrofoam wreath ring from the dollar store, an old book and a glue gun. I really liked Amy's idea about using paint for the aged look. Before I took the pages out of the book, I used black and brown paint to paint the edges of the book. Then after the wreath was all put together, I used a candle lighter to burn some of the edges of the wreath. I really like the way it turned out!

I saw another tutorial on making a wreath with coffee filters, I just might try that one next if I can find the tutorial again.

Do you have any fun wreath ideas to share?
