Ok people. I was crafty. Let's not go all crazy now. Really. This was huge. You have no idea! And I have to admit. I am kinda proud of myself! I saw a picture of this on pinterest but the link sucked! To be perfectly honest. It had no instructions at all and so I decided I would make it and give out instructions! I think it is kinda cool. Husband thinks it is ugly, so if anyone wants it? Let me know. It is yours!!!

| Pick a book you are ok with destroying. Rip out all the pages. |
 |
| Find a base. I used a 9 inch cake decorating cardboard base. |
 |
| Find a low heat glue gun and glue. I stole Husbands. |
 |
| I drew circles on the cardboard for a guide. Twist all your pages into cones. I recommend making a TON of cones first and then gluing them all together. Start on the outside edge (with your "petal" overlapping by about 2 inches Glue it down. Really well. This is your main base. Continue to glue them down in a circle pattern, filling gaps as you go. |
 |
| This is what the Petals look like. And my pretty nail polish! |
 |
| The finished product! It is quite large. The pages in the middle are different color as they are out of a new book. They will age within days to match. |
 |
| A friend was making me pose! |
 |
| This one poked my boob. But I think I look skinny! |

I am now threatening to do 4 more in different sizes to cover walls with. I am sure Husband will love that, right????
