There's would make lovely gifts. They could be customized for the person receiving it. So elegant looking.....and it's book pages!!! Amazing!
I think it was quite poetic that you unknowingly used on old Dutch bible to make a Christmas wreath. After all the birth of Chris is why we celebrate Christmas in the first place, so the Bible still represented religious beliefs.
The music paper is very festive, for those out there who want a more aged look, the old tea or coffee staining techniques on the edges gives it an added dimension in depth too. Happy wreath making everybody ☺
The One. The ONLY. Rebecca. Robeson. Brilliant. As is usual. Love this. I'm going to make one for a friend who is a consummate musician as a Christmas gift. I have ideas for a little bit of additional drama. Love ya, Rebecca!
Loving the trick with the tape measure!!!
I've always struggled with string. Genius. From a retired upholsterer.
Simply Splendid ! it's now 2023 & style never goes out of fashion.
May I suggest a variation - instead of sheet music consider Christmas wrapping paper there are so many examples of fabulous design and colour themes from expensive to basic. And one can produce a different one very year and give away the previous version as a gift. This wreath concept is environmentally friendly and gets idle fingers nimble and busy.
I appreciate your sense of humor. You make decorating light and fun. Thanks!
Yes! I’ve only watched the first 5 seconds and I’m already excited. I made one a couple years ago and used music sheets too! I printed them myself because I couldn’t bear to destroy a book - even a music book. I also cut them down and trimmed the edges because I didn’t want all of the extra white space in the margins. I stained them with coffee and burned the edges to add a vintage vibe to it. I added silver and gold decorations in the middle.
Yes I was just thinking how neat it would be with burned edges.
Even gold edges.
@@gilliandawson6567 haha. funny you mention that because I actually bought gold glitter to glue to the edges before deciding I didn’t want a glitter mess and went with the burnt edges instead.
@@hellobookworms3083 hi. I was thinking gold wax/ gilt.
Bravo !!
I so hear you when you say
you couldn't destroy a book.
What incredibly well presented instructions! There seems to be no end to your skills! The music sheets as a theme was genius and it doesn’t go unnoticed that it was so typical “Rebecca” in that it echoed your Christmas tree. Thank you for sharing this updated version, it is a true gift to your viewers.
You are welcome Doane. I'm so glad you enjoyed this updated version :-) RR
After watching the final product, this just makes me want to jump for joy!!
Only 2 minutes into this video....new sub, too. Your apology for using a bible....and an old one at that....might bring out more nay sayers But, consider this....dont you think it's quite fitting to use a Christian text to celebrate the reason there is a Christmas in the first place? This 89 year old lady finds it quite appropriate.....even endearing. So glad I found, by accident....this most interesting video. I probably wont be using our 100 year old family bible...but you can bet I'm making this...and proudly hanging it, too. Looking forward to checking out your past objects d'art....what a treat. *Recliner Babe*
Totally agree, Sandra!!!
Seems a good reason to me!
This is one of the prettiest wreaths I've seen with pages from a book ❣️
A fan from India here. Have been following you for an year and binge watching all your videos. So as soon as I saw this video I knew I had to try it and it turned out absolutely beautiful ❣️ Thank you Rebecca. You are my inspiration
I have seen this done many times and I have made several, but I have never heard such clear, easy to understand instructions. Thank you very much!
I have made MANY wreaths from old hymnals. My church gladly gave me all I needed because they were put in storage after they converted to electronic screens. I so enjoyed reminiscing the old hymns I have enjoyed over the years as I made the wreaths. So many ways to complete the centers, as well as using spiral grape vine wreaths on the back for added depth.
Music pages ! That’s a wonderful idea!
I love Rebecca's "subtle" new love for the gold 👍🏻
I watched that old video years ago & made one for a Xmas decorating job @ the Historic Benbow Inn in the Redwoods of Northern Cal. I received so many nice comments on it. I used an nostalgic christmas picture book. I'm going to make another with all those unused music pieces in my piano bench! Thank you Rebecca. Glad you are still with us even though you've moved to Tulsa!
On the hunt for a book that I can destroy!! I couldn’t tell you how many times I’ve used soda can pull tabs for hangers! Use what you have!! Will be sure to share a picture when I get mine done! 🎄❤️🎄
Oh my god.. this is how i found Rebecca 10y ago. By seeing her original video for this craft. And I made it too and still hanging in our living room. Absolutely love it.
I am a retired School Librarian. I decided to order a lot of little books this year and add ribbon to hang them. I have a small tree that is going to be a "Book Tree" I may put it in our bedroom because I have 2 or 3 trees in our living room area. I like the idea that you have and I may use some book pages to fill in. I may try to make a ribbon using some old pages of books. I have to get my library DIY hat on first!
I come back your videos again and again mostly because of your beautiful personality. You are so lovely, funny, creative and fun to watch ❤️
I made a whole mini business out of that old video. It brought so much extra income when I was first married.
That’s awesome!!
My aunt used to make these about 40 years ago. She had them as decor in her house. It’s funny in my 20’s I thought they looked awful but now I love them. She had gold on the edges of the pages.
This was the video that I first watched of yours that made me want to craft 13 years ago. Thank you for all of the beautiful videos
The very 1st.video I watched from you yrs.ago,was you making this.Still one of my favs.Also love your tree decor and spinners.
I love this!!,,, I made a few for my family. I am one of those, about destroying books 😢 however I got creative, I used card stock, and paper in different colors. My Moms was really special. She loves elegant. So, I used white paper, gold and silver paper and then used a few pieces
Of her wedding stationary!!! Then I used gold, silver Med & small Christmas balls along with strands of white pearls beads. I will send you a picture. Thanks for inspiring us 💕💕💕
I was thinking about turning my old sheet music from the days when I used to perform into ornaments, but seeing how you used sheet music to create this wreath, that's exactly what I plan on doing. I remember your first one you made, that was so controversial. not your fault you did not know that was a bible. What a beautiful way to recreate what was beautiful once before. Love you Rebecca.
Oh Destyni, I hope you do it! Yours will have even more significance if they are pages from your past ... I LOVE THAT! :-) RR
I still love it. It is the first of your videos I watched. I loved it then and I love it now. Great idea to use music pages.I used to work in a library and I'm not offended at all.
Still live it i did one maybe 10 years ago when I first found you. It time to make another one again. Thank you for reshaping it's fabulous.
I've made a couple of these...one with book pages and one with grarient shades of pink for my daughters baby shower..l still have it...❤🌲
OMGd!!!! I am So impressed!! U R Definitely the Queen 💓👑 of DESIGN!! I JUST LOVE U SO MUCH!! I'M CRYING 😭😭 THANK U!!!
It’s beautiful!! I love how it turned out! The vintage jewelry tree is the perfect compliment!💕
Actually, using an old Bible is quite fitting, IMO. I like the idea. Lovely seeing this recreated with music sheets too.
I have my 1st one and now I make a new one with 🎶 pages🙌. I'm so excited to make it😁✌
Thank you so much and Many Blessings
I created my wreath after you posted the first video! I had a music/old fashioned themed Christmas with my collection of Byers Carolers, my sheet music paper wreath and old Christmas sheet music paper for placemats as well as many other touches. In the center of my wreath I placed a piece of my mom’s gold rhinestone costume jewelry, which makes it especially dear to me! I love it so much I keep it hung year round in our guest room. Thanks again for all of your inspiration! Merry Christmas 🎁‼️
I made the book wreath in 2012 but think this one is even better. Not a blingey person so would put something less ornate in the centre. Thank you for the idea👍🏻
WooHoo! Love it. I have two old Baptist Hymnals that were my Mom's(she would have been 89 today) and some of her costume jewelry. I believe that will be perfect! Thank you for the tutorial. ❤️💗❤️💗
Yea! THE BAPTIST HYMNALS!
I HAVE SOME TOO😇
I was so thrilled when I saw this video! I have been admiring this wreath on someone's FB page, in the background. I cannot wait to make this! Thank you, thank you, thank you! Such great instructions too!
I love the soda can tops for hangers-brilliant! 😊
I’m glad the other one got ruined because this one is fabulous!!! Wow. Stunning.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Thank you Rebecca for the "Old Book Pages Christmas Wreath" complete demonstration. I didn't make one the first time around, due to extensive traveling for work. However, I'm now in one place & not going anywhere in the near future thanks to the medical situation we are all living, yes us medical professionals included. Therefore, I will tackle this project and will use the old books I purchase from "Goodwill" and for those watching I won't destroy any bible. Stay Safe & Healthy... Abrazos
Hi Romano, First... Thank you for being on the front lines as a medical professional! We appreciate your courage and stamina! Second... good luck on your wreath! Send photos please :-) RR
Amazing video as always, Rebecca! I love tuning in and listening to what you have to say. I think this video was perfect timing not just for the holidays, but for you to show us this new wreath in your new beautiful home! :)
One word....BEAUTIFUL!!!!
I absolutely love everything you do !!! I want my house to look like yours!!! Your style is my style ❤!
Wow, what a fantastic beautiful idea to use the old book pages. And a fantastic idea, for the pop cans opening fasteners. Well done 👏 ✔ 👍 Julia Cassidy from Nottingham England 🇬🇧 👏 👍
I had seen your first video on how to make this wreath. I made one out of books for myself and our daughter. Then for a fun raiser, I made one out of sheet music. People loved it. Several years later , I did the same only in a cross form. Our organist at are church was retiring so I was in charges of the decor. Thank you so much for sharing this idea, then and now again.
Love this we made them in the 60s out of computer chip cards. I couldn't remember how but now I know. Love the music sheets
I remember my aunts making these wreaths back in the 60's. Then they made them out of empty thread spools from the Vanity Fair factory that we all worked at. Smaller versions of the paper cutter are available at any shop or store that sells paper crafts. I got mine at Tuesday Morning years ago.
I remember your original “controversial” video but I loved it! So thank you! I have made some for gifts and I just wanted to share that you can make small wreaths with the leftovers and they make beautiful ornaments or gift wrap accents! Just adore you and appreciate your videos!🥰
Great idea to use smaller ones for ornaments! Creative!
Omg I miss these vids lol your personality is a 10/10
120 cones, tube measurement 7" x 9.25" center circle 4" and larger circle 8"
I remember the first book wreath, it feels like yesterday when I watched it and made 3 of my own!!! I love this new spin on it with the music pages, I feel like the 4th is going to be made very soon 😂😂😂
So beautiful !! Love that tree your neighbour made as well. So gorgeous. And that fact that you put all that by your old window from your last home 💕⭐️ so magical
Rebecca, I made your wreath back in 2016 as an art project with my three nieces…ages 8, 7 and 4. It turned out spectacular!!! I may have to do one for myself this year…always better the second time around ;-). Thanks for the trip down memory lane.
You bet madridcsr, How fun to have that special memory with your nieces. I hope they... six years later... ages 14, 13 and 10 hold that experience with you for the rest of their lives! Give them big hugs for me next time you see them 😘 RR
P.S. good luck with your 2021 old book pages wreath!
Yay!! I remember watching the original vid for this DIY! I think I was still in high school back then. Good morning from Saipan! Love you and your videos Rebecca!
Wowwwww.........Loved the way you cut the pages (ALL 120)! smart move
You have so much eye candy!!!
As a singer/musician, I have nothing but sheet music that I could be using to make things with to embellish the home so thank you for that suggestion.
I am going do this wreath...I think I'll do this with my Mom.
I love the little tree that your friend made I would love to see a closer shot of that because I could be using jewelry to do that same type of thing and I love the window swags I think that looks so classy. The room looks warm but very upscale. Kudos!
Yessss Do it with your mom. It will create special memories for the two of you!
:-) RR
@@rebeccarobeson1 You're the BOMB! SOOOO INSPIRING👍
You inspire me so much. I love watching your videos. Your home is beautiful and I can't wait to tour your home.
You mean a compass, not a protractor…..haven’t thought about them in years! But handy tools for this. Thanks for the wreath instructions.
OMGoodness what great video. Step by step Rebecca's DIY...
Hello fellow Oklahoman, I just moved to Sand Springs, and what a beautiful town. The people are so friendly and polite. I moved to a really nice old trailer court and love it so far. I feel really safe and people are very welcoming. Lots of love to you and yes I would make this but for now, I need a kitchen and will not have time but made one 3 years ago and it came out great but like yours, mine did not travel well also. So give it a try guys and gals you will love the way it comes out.
Rebecca 🥰 loved the little movement of the like thumb across the screen. 🤣😂🤣😂
I made this exact wreath back in the early 70's! Loved it then and now.
Still gorgeous...the jewelry really makes it. Thanks for sharing! You are amazing!
Wonderful center piece !
I absolutely love this 🤍🤍🤍
Thank you Rebecca
God bless you and your family ⭐️
I love that wreath. I’m so glad your doing it again.
I could play that music, but I’m not offended you used it for a wreath! Well done!
Love, love, love this wreath. Sharing with myself so I can rewatch while I'm making mine!
Thank you❣️
Rebecca, what a great detailed video.Im going to be getting together with my Mum and making one.Your came out gorgeous and I love the music sheets!And jewels for the center.Love the spot you choose to hang it.I love the tree Cheryl did for you too!!
I love you ❤You always bring in beauty and simplicity in your wonderful decorating episodes and sometimes you and your beautiful dedication to all of your hardworking decor makes me cry tears of joy! You inspire me so much, lady!❤
I love this wreath. The music sheets great idea and it goes with the theme of your tree. Fabulous. Have a blessed and wonderful week .

How beautiful!! I LOVE this!! I am hoping my daughter will help me make some of these for the bedroom doors! You continue to amaze me Rebecca!! :)
Best home videos always.... Inspiring, creative and funny!!!
The first old pages wreath clip, not this one, is how I found Rebecca Robeson and her inspiring work. It took me 3 seconds to decide to make that wreath :) I made 3 wreaths in fact and 2 of them, I offered as gifts. So glad she chose to make this new clip that brought such happy memories for me!
I love this. I’ve been watching you since 2012 literally I remember this was the first video I saw was ur book wreath. One of my favorite DIY’s you have done and I recreated it truly it was so much fun. Thanks for sharing this again. 9 years later you recreated the same thing it brought back those memories thanks for sharing. Much love and happy holidays to you and ur family hope all is well.
Love this project…I am definitely going to be on the lookout for old music sheets…Op shops here I come…🥰🇦🇺
Thank you for this tutorial. I’ve wanted to make one of these wreaths for years now I can do it. I have lots of old sheet music. Yours is beautiful
Such a beautiful DIY!!! Loved that idea of using pop cane lids!! Inspired by the idea of using old jewellery into x-mas tree. Merry Christmas 🎄 🎄🎄🎄🙏🏼
Thank you for doing this step-by-step and with humor. I was sad to see your other OBPCW destroyed. This one is equally as beautiful.
Thank you Angel. I love it so much. I too was so bummed when I saw the condition of my old one. It had been in every Christmas I have done since making it. Now, this new one will always remind me of my first Christmas in Tulsa with it's musical theme :-) RR
Love this wreath! Goes so well with your antique window❣️
I really need to do this,. I saw your old film years ago and have never had the time. Nows the time!
I was waiting for this one!! Yay, great instructions and beautiful! ❤
This is a great project and not only does it look great it is also easy to make and affordable. Thank you for sharing this again. I watched the original years ago and it was how I found you on UA-cam ✅
I love your idea of putting sheet music into this wreath instead of a book. So seasonal!
Made a wreath using an old dictionary. Turned out great! Thanks for the video tutorial.
I’ve used the pop tops of sofa cans to hang my travel plate. I attached them to the backs of the plates with a dab of E600. Like you say, “use what you’ve got.”
Hi Rebecca good to see you making this beautiful item once again. Ironic that people complain about using books. The first place I ever saw this design was on our local public library's entry door. I was too tickled. I made one as well, however the books I purchased came from the thrift store so I got two books that were five by seven for $,25. And to make the pages look old I soaked a tea bag and squeezed down the brown color around the top side and bottom edges of the book. I let it dry out for a few days. I'll be making one again, but using your measurements. Love you and wish you and family a wonderful holiday season.❤❤❤
Your “thumbs up” item makes me laugh. It’s not subtle, but it’s effective. I love this step by step video. Thank you, Rebecca 👏👏👏
I made one of these years ago and when the holiday season was over I spray painted it to coordinate so I had it up all year long.
Love this wreath diy. Also loved the broken mirror Christmas tree. I hope you or Sharah are using it in Tulsa. It was so magical.
This is still one of my favourites. I need to make a new one soon. I still have my original from your 1st video. It’s ageless and always draws compliments from visitors to our home.
P.S. cannot wait for this year home tour. Congrats on your beautiful new home.
You can use florist pins ... that's what I thought you were going to say. I love watching your work!!!
Your instructions are very easy to follow and understand! Thank you 😊!
I made one and put dried roses in the center that my husband gave me . So pretty ! I love it 💕
Your instructions are spot on and your setting is gorgeous! Well done!!!
I love the idea of music note as pages for this wreath. ❤️
I think I am going to make one of these using my husbands old maps. He is a trucker and has huge books of maps of all over the USA!
I love using old books for crafts. That is a beautiful wreath.
Brilliant! Feeling very inspired. Love the ring-pull hanging solution.
Inspiring! Love love love the Sheet music idea! I am tempted to spray paint just the edge of the paper. The TV fireplace is nice too! I have my going as well.
This is truly an improved version of the original video!!!! I got the stapling wrong and ended up with irregular cones ...tho still awesome!!!
