I have been staring at cardbaord cereal boxes and wondering what to do with them. I love all the different shades of brown and gray. When it finally hit me that I should make a wall decoration. I cut the boxes into squares and rectangles. I layed them out on the floor and changed them up until I found a design I liked.
I hot glued the cardboard together, then I made the book page flowers.
Book Page Flowers:
I took an old Readers Digest and tore out pages.
Next I folded the paper in half vertically and cut out a leaf.
I then applied a drop of glue onto the edge of the leaf and clothespinned it.
After the petal is glued repeat on more petals and then glue together.
Final Product:
Finished Wall Decor:
Thank you for the wonderful tutorial. :)
