I had decided that this fall I wanted to do some projects with book page leaves. I started with a wreath. I had a straw wreath that I pulled the moss off of and recycled for this project. I first took strips of burlap and wrapped the whole wreath. When the wreath was wrapped I just pinned the burlap in place.
The perfect ribbon for the book pages seemed to naturally be a black and white check. I wrapped the ribbon around the top of the wreath to create the hanger.
To attach my book page oak leaves I needed a "vine.' I just created it with pipe cleaners.
I took the oak leaves and just taped them to the pipe cleaners. I created the oak leaves from a child's coloring page. You could simply trace a real oak leaf and get the same effect.
I really like the texture and pattern of the book page leaves. It's neutral but definitely portrays fall.

What a cute idea! I love just about anything embellished with book pages. This is just adorable and I think I need to make one!! Thanks for the inspiration. I'm pinning it.
This is darling!
This is so great! You are so creative :-)
I really love it and seems so easy to do! I'd probably trace a real leaf since they are starting to fall already:)
I love this Sherry,
So creative and I love the color of the ribbon. It looks wonderful.
This is such a charming wreath! I love all the elements!

Gosh you are so clever. How do you find time to craft? I just try and keep up with the house and garden and animals and never seem to have extra time.
Oh that is so cute!
I think I have everything but the straw wreath form... I'm sure I could improvise. I'm thinking I'll do something different for a fall wreath!
thanks so much for showing it.

So very pretty - I've got to ask it - wasn't it hard cutting the delicate leaves out? So perfect for autumn! I like it's elegant simplicity! Thanks for sharing your creative inspiration with Sunday’s Best – you helped make the party a success!
No, cutting the leaves out isn't a problem. I just sat in my chair watching Lost.
