Over at My Creative Time there is a Pinterest challenge. This is perfect as we all pin many things, but rarely do them. My friend and I recently decided we were going to have a baking day off of Pinterest as well.
Onto what I created. I created a wreath for a friend who just moved into her first place. We met in nursing school and became fast friends and study partners.
The site where I got my pinspiration from is

| It is crooked, oops, not aware how to change it! |
The pages I used were from a very old paperback drug reference book, shhhh...don't tell my grandmother who gave me the book! I thought using this drug book due to our nursing was perfect. I did paint the edges of the book as a whole before I ripped pages out, but they are yellow and barely show up. For the base of the wreath I used a pool noodle wrapped in duct tape. The pages can be rolled in any fashion and hot glued around in layers. I now think this may be a bit bigger than I was thinking, but I still have a little pool noodle left to start a smaller one. Thanks for looking.
