Newspaper Craft Tutorial

I'd like to share with you all a little DIY tutorial using newspaper (and other things). I have an ever growing mound of newspaper and I had to find a good way to re-use them stat before my dining table became engulfed. So just to be clear, I still have a mound of newspapers but I did find a cool project! Yes - one project, don't judge. I did a quick search and came upon this site:

Check out How to Make a Paper Rose Wreath by Charissa Johaneson on Snapguide.
I absolutely love how it has a french country/romanticism feel, so I got to it! Once started though I realized it was going to take a butt numbing amount of time to cover the wreath I had bought.

TIP: If you're wanting quick results with this craft I'd stick with the smallest wreath you can find.

Many burns later, a growing pile of scraps,  and finding glue in places it shouldn't be I came to terms that this was going to be an accent on the wreath. I love crafting but my back can only take so much! I then rummaged through some the storage (here ties in the other things) and found three bunches of hydrangeas, FTW! I also wanted to add a little sparkle and grabbed a bag of gold acrylic beads, 10 minutes later I was done. This is the finished product:


So over all it was tideous but it was well worth the outcome. Hope you enjoy and TTYL :)
