PAPER WREATH

A few years ago I saw these printed paper wreaths in a Pottery Barn Catalog and knew I had to make one. I LOVE BOOKS- reading them, making them, collecting them... I just knew this wreath was for me.
Last night I got around to making one. As I said, I collect books. If I go to a thrift store I come out with a least a few old books, so I had some to choose from. I also found some old sheet music for cello and piano. The old copy I had of my favorite book added some sheets to the wreath as well (just got a new copy on Amazon).
Does anyone have any feedback for me? I am going to do the ribbon as well, I just don't have it yet. Does it deserve to hang on a wall in my living room or does it still need work? I'd love some comments.

I love this wreath! I'm the same way with books and music. Yes, I like a ribbon with it. I would need the color because my walls are so bland. Yes, you should hang it.

Hang it up, it deserves to go on the wall. I agree the ribbon will give it that final touch. It's cool and different. I like that you used your favorite book as part of it. I want to come see your house and smell that new carpet smell!

I love it!! and it will be fun to see hanging up. I like the different lengths and writing on the paper. I also like how you twisted the middle (or so it looks). I think it's better than the pottery barn original. The pages you used...do they have interesting and suspensful words you can read if you're say...standing in the front room waiting for your date to come? I'll have to come see it when you have it hung.
