Lindsay from Living With Lindsay is not only a genius, but she’s a frugal genius! Check out this pretty frilly wreath she made from humble dollar store items, including a dollar store romance novel. If you feel weird about ripping up a book, how about using one of those pesky local phone directories that always shows up at the most inopportune time on your doorstep (am I the only one that really, really hates those?) She walks you through the whole technique to get this amazing wreath over at her blog, so get clicking [how to make a ruffly book wreath]
Project Estimate:
- 10″ foam wreath, $1
- Paperback novel, on hand or $1
- Acrylic paint, on hand
- Glue gun, on hand
- Ribbon, on hand
Total: $1 and up

This is adorable! I have plenty of falling apart pulp novels that I’d love to repurpose in some way. Thanks for sharing this fun fun idea.
I love this!!
I saw this yesterday and love it. I’m going to save this idea.
Great link, never checked out Living With Lindsay before. Yes, sometimes I live under a rock. She better patent this idea before Martha tries to snag it.
I would be so honored if Martha would steal this from me. :) However, I saw the idea at a vintage show, so I pretty much stole it from someone else.
Thanks so much for featuring my wreath! You KNOW I love Dollar Store Crafts!
how cool! I love all the fab sites you share with us!

Fantastic! This, I’m gonna do! Thanks for the post.
My husband and I just saw a wreath very similar to this at Crate and Barrel. I was made of a wood paper and was $50.
Fantastic project…just finished mine…sooooo easy. I used a stapler to secure the rolled paper and then glue to attach to form , even easir I think !
I like your idea Heather – use the pesky phone books! And then spray paint it gold or silver!
And little ones to hang on the tree or packages!
