Feeling a little crafty as I finish off holiday decorating, and what puts gives a final finishing touch to your home like a lovely big wreath in your entrance. I loved these seemingly simple ideas for paper wreaths that can be made quite inexpensively with with a little paper and lots of holiday spirit :)
No books were harmed in the making of this post, however, not sure I can say the same for the making of this wreath. While librarians may want to avert their eyes, I loved the soft ruffles of this wreath made entirely of a used book.
Perhaps my favourite option of all - a lovely wreath fashioned from old family photographs. What a lovely sentimental touch - perhaps use photos of past holiday memories, or even of loved ones who are far away.
Just the prettiest thing - this lacy little wreath made of paper doilies and little white lights simple glows. The perfect welcome on a cold, white night.
Fun, fun - fashion these with simple white paper, or keep all the bows from gifts to make this next year. This playful star wreath guides you in...I'm curious - how have you decorated for the holidays?
Inside and out?

The wreath from old photographs seems so doable...

Love the first wreath!
That book wreath is stunning. I may have to harm a few books to make one of my own.

I love the 1st and 2nd ones...the picture one is so perfect! I want to do now :)
A little update - inspired by this morning's post I created a lovely little photo wreath - with lots of old holiday photos :)
I immediately loved the photo wreath, then went on to read that you did too :) I'm glad you made one yourself, will you post us a picture?

These are all so pretty, such different ideas, love the photo wreath and doily one!
I adore these looks! Especially for first one for it's ruffly effect. This holiday season I have been trying to get creative with wreathes and try new things. This is definitely inspirational!

I really do love the book wreath... although I'm sure the same effect could be achieved from old newspapers... without sacrificing a beloved book.
I also really love the bow wreath in the last picture. It's very in your face Christmas... no one can doubt the holidays when looking at such a playful and to the point decoration :)
You're very creative and clever!
Love your wreath, as well as the first and last in your gallery.
Thanks for sharing - I feel inspired!
