Meet Me Under the Mistletoe

'Tis the season.

 My favourite season.

Lately I've been drawn to all the book wreaths that I've seen in blogland.
Like this one from Jen @ Piney Flats Style.

There's something about them...so nostalgic and beautiful...that was calling me.

Then, my sister-in-law created two for the craft show.

L.O.V.E. them.

I decided to add my own twist to the book-wreath {in hopes that maybe a wreath will come my way at Christmas - wink, wink!}.

I created a kissing ball.

I began with a wire sphere.

Then, I followed the same steps as in my paper rosettes to fold the book paper into the petal shapes and I hot-glued them to the frame.

I continued until the frame was completely covered.

I added some red berries {that I snipped from the garland that's wrapped around my chandelier} and some ribbon.
I changed the ribbon from my original plan to something a little brighter. 

 

I leave you with some wise words...

Always kiss your children goodnight, even if they're already asleep.
