Wreath!

I've seen this wonderful idea linked a couple of places - and knew immediately I wanted to make one! Here's how mine turned out - I couldn't find a foam wreath, so cut out a circle from a Fed Ex box that came in my mail! Some hot glue and a recycled song book - and there you have it!

Your wreath turned out very nice.

Yours looks great! I saw this idea too, and have been waiting for a trip to Dollar Tree since to get my wreath form!

Wow I will be off to Dollar Tree today. I almost want to make one out of a favorite book just to make it seem more special.

I can't wait to make this! I think I will also use a song book/hymn book. We have a couple that are falling apart, and it would look so cute above or next to my piano.

Thanks for sharing this awesome idea!

(Was it easy to do? It looks like it, and I'm not that creative...)

My daughter and son-in-law are both musically talented and would love this. Thanks so much for showing us how.

I did not make that chalkboard! But, it would be easy to do - this particular one used to be a table top, after a bit of sanding and some chalkboard paint - voila! I love it!

Here is a chalkboard I did make:
