I love old books. There is just something about really old book pages – perhaps the stories they have told, and the ephemeral about them? One day they are printed, sold and dispersed around the world, and the next they end up in a recycling bin. And if they do, I can’t keep my hands off them! 
One such old Danish book was recently turned into a bouquet of roses by me. I started by punching out leaves from the book pages. I glued them together two at a time, with a piece of wire in between.
Then I twined the pieces of wire into individual branches.
I cut out rose petals (I just cut them freehand in about three different sizes), glued them to a piece of wire, and then I twined the branches to the the rose stem.
Since winter here in Finland is still really dark, I placed my roses in a silver tea pot along with some fairy lights. 
They look quite nice in the living room! The perfect addition for our house. DIY and pretty.
