Book Page Holiday Banners & Monogram Place Cards

If you follow my blog you know
a. I like to make stuff
b. most of my decorating is done on a budget.
 
Growing up money was tight.
Wanting something in our house
usually meant you had to
 make it yourself or buy it used.
 
At the time, 
it didn’t always seem like a good thing:),
but ultimately….
 it gave me the motivation
to be creative and  resourceful
&
for that I am SO grateful!
 
I truly enjoy re-purposing things
& 
making something pretty out of something ordinary.
 
Here are my next two
Recycled Christmas Projects
8. Book Page Holiday Banner
9. Monogram Book Page Place Cards
 

 These are pages from a vintage french book,
that I just sent through the printer, cut and laced with jute.
Banners are everywhere this holiday season
but I have to say my favorite inspiration for this project
came from Ella Claire.
Kristen is super creative and writes a beautiful
blog, you must check it out:).
 
 


I sent the same book pages through the printer
&
cut the detail in the bottom.


 

The table runner was a piece of driftwood
that I found at the beach after
Hurricane Sandy.
