I am always looking for ways to reuse anything around the house. This year an old Jesus the Christ book from the 70's was my victim. I present to you my...
1. Find an old book you don't mind ripping up. I felt a little guilty ripping up a book about Jesus but at the same time, isn't that what this Holiday is all about anyway?! Now, I feel justified.
2. Tear out several pages.
3. Fold them short ways accordion style.
4. Bend them in half.
5. Put two of them together. Tie string around the middles to hold together and glue seams shut.
After assembling all of the paper ornaments I gave them a pop of color with this paper tape from Anthropologie.
We paired these decorations with some vintage seam binding from my Nanny. We had several colors so we cut them into strips and tied them together to form a colorful garland.
And there you have it! Someone 40 years ago bought a book and I turned it in to a cheap and easy DIY Holiday decoration!
P.S. Two years ago today I got to do something very special. I went to this place for the first time. I will never forget the reverence and beauty of that peaceful day. I am so grateful for this season and the time to reflect on my love for the Savior. This is such an incredibly special time of year for me as I remember the sacred blessings I received that day.
