Paper crafts, a recycled wreath!

I was bored. I needed to do something with my hands. I had a pile of magazines lying around. I was also perusing my big list of website links for crafts and projects. This, seemed a perfect solution!

Lisa over at the The Red Thread Blog gives a lovely tutorial for a paper wreath, using wrapping paper left over from her advent calender project. I started perusing through the fashion mags I had lying around, and came up with this!

Purses and earrings and shoes, oh my!

I had some pretty Gold ribbon lying around in my stash, so I used that to create the bow and loop to hang it! I am very pleased with the final product, spending an afternoon stapling away while watching TV was very satisfying. I also found a picture of Greta Garbo in one of the magazines, and she takes pride and place near the top. This is on my bedroom door now, a hint of femininity to disguise the disaster zone that lies within. My room's a bit of a disaster since class started again.
