How to Make a Stunning Book Page Wreath (Even If You’re Not Crafty)
There are no rules – you can just tear the pages from old books and turn them into something breathtaking. This project isn’t about perfection—it’s about transformation. A book page wreath is where stories go to get a second life as stunning home decor. Whether you're new to crafting or basically run a glue gun empire, you’ve got this.
Why Book Page Wreaths Are the Ultimate Upcycle
Old books can feel magical, even when they’re falling apart. Instead of tossing them, why not turn them into something meaningful? These wreaths bring vintage vibes, sustainability, and conversation-starter status to your walls.
What You’ll Need
- Old book (preferably yellowed and full of character)
- Wreath form (cardboard, foam, or wire)
- Hot glue gun
- Ribbon or twine
- Optional: Ink pad to distress edges
Step-by-Step Guide to Making Your Book Page Wreath
Step 1: Rip Without Regret
Yes, I said it. Rip those pages out. If you feel bad, give the book a moment of silence. Then get to work.
Step 2: Roll and Fluff
Roll each page into cones or tubes and glue the bottom to keep it tight. Channel your inner burrito artist.
Step 3: Build the Base Layer
Start gluing the cones around the outer edge of the wreath form. Don’t worry if it’s not perfect. Imperfect = charming.
Step 4: Add Dimension
Glue a second and maybe even third layer of cones inside the first. Play with lengths to create depth.
Step 5: Top It Off
Add a decorative center—maybe a flower, button, or a mini quote from your favorite book.

Where to Get Your Supplies
You can find old books at thrift stores, garage sales, or even your own stash. Just don’t raid Grandma’s bookshelf without permission.
