I purchased a 4" x 6 3/4" paperback from a dollar store. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Removed the cover and tore the pages in half.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then started gluing.... </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I crumpled each half page to give it more texture before positioning it over</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the end of a sharpee marker. (I found a pencil to be to small to work with.) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Added a dab of glue and stuck it onto the wreath form.</div>

Began with a book from the Dollar Store.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Bulked up the spine with a piece of paper towel tube.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">Working in small areas at a time use a 1" disposable chip brush to brush decoupage glue onto book cover, lay paper towel over glue, brush out air bubbles, push paper towel with paint brush to create texture of old worn wrinkly leather. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Allowed to dry overnight.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Brushed on a light coat of Gesso.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I didn't have black gesso, so used my white Gesso</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After dry, painted with black acrylic paint.</div>

Repeat the Gesso, black acrylic paint steps.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then began dry-brushing the entire book with</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I spread the melted white bark or candy melts</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
on the diagonal on one side of the pretzels. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Let set in the fridge for a few minutes.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Turned over and frosted the back side. Let set.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After the pretzels are stuck together it is much</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
easier to handle and I could pretty much just</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
dip in the chocolate,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
then place the hat brim pretzel.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I stood them up in between my cooling rack wires to set.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I added sprinkles to mimic pines and holly berries. </div>
