Do you remember my Wuthering Heights wreath? This Christmas ball ornament is a riff on the same theme, though I ran out of Bronte pages and had to settle for Hugh MacLennan's Barometer Rising. (In the spirit of full disclosure: I have not read Barometer Rising and feel a bit guilty to have dismantled a book I don't know).
I actually have a half dozen of these balls, which I'm hoping will garner interest at the craft fair in a week and a half. They're a bit time consuming to make, but I don't mind a little brainless repetition in the evenings. It pairs well with tea and chocolate.
Pleased with the wreath and ball ornaments, I carried the same book-page technique into gift tags, also for the craft fair. When something is working, run with it -- right? Or I'm stuck in a rut. Either way, I'm amassing a nice selection of tags (not all made from book pages) to compliment my reusable cloth gift bags.
Would you be interested in seeing DIY instructions for either of the projects above?
