7. Distressed Book Page Pumpkin Garland
For the literary lovers who want to celebrate the season with vintage charm, this book page garland is the perfect weekend craft. Salvage an old, damaged book and cut the pages into uniform strips. Fan the strips out and secure them at the top and bottom with brass brads to form three-dimensional, spherical pumpkin shapes. Distress the edges of the paper with brown distress ink or coffee to give them a weathered, antique appearance. Top each paper pumpkin with a small twig stem and a leaf cut from green felt or burlap. String the pumpkins along a thick piece of jute twine, interspersed with wooden beads, and drape the finished garland across your fireplace mantel, bookshelf, or staircase banister.
