We're looking at part two of the epic paper crafts day that I was a part of a few weeks ago. One of my friends chose to create a wreath based upon this pin she found:
What I quickly learned while looking up that pin to post it here, is that if you search for book paper wreathes there are a whole host of options out there. One minor difference to the one she made, is that it involved comic book pages co-mingled with pages from a book. She used typical comic book pages, and pages from a larger bible. Each page was wrapped into a cone shape and taped at the base with Scotch tape.
After the cones were made, the first layer was arranged and then glued to a large piece of card stock.

| Trying out some options |
 |
| Base layer: Comics only |
After the first layer was established, the second layer was added using spray adhesive. This layer was book pages only.
 |
| Book pages |
Several layers of alternating comic books and book pages were added, all using spray adhesive and carefully but firmly attaching each layer to the previous layer.

| Layer 3: More Comics! |
 |
| Up close |
The final layers had to be more tightly rolled so that they would fit in the center and be a gradual transition. The middle was a "bouquet" of comic book pages. Pressed against the existing layers and into the gap they left in the center. Everything requiring spray glue was completed outside for fumes related purposes.

| Finished product! |
What do you think? Do you like the incorporation of comic books along with the book pages?
