Book Page Centerpiece

I love this! I've seen the the book wreaths but I've yet to see a centerpiece done. How adorable would this be for a book club meet?

So what I did first was buy a half ball foam form, be aware of the size of your table. I bought a 5 inch half ball at the store for $3.00 because I have a smaller table. Remember it will get larger once you start adding the paper.

I live right next to a bookstore, so I went over and bought the first fifty cent used book that I could find. I wanted the pages to have the yellowy tinge to it, but if you'd rather have it more white I say go for it!

Next you can cut a circle out of construction paper and glue it to the back of your foam form as to not get dust all over your table! I used a glue gun for this project. Then I started to rip out the pages of my book. Get a good size pile going, and then rip them in half, like above. Then you take the paper, put your finger in the middle and ruffle up the sides. Once it's all scrunched up, glue the bottom to your foam. Add each piece close to the last so you can't see any of the foam!

And here's the finished product!
