Turning Old Pages into Fall Magic


Hanging in the Hunson Homes windows

Who knew that one trip to Re-Discovered On Marsh here in Clarksburg could lead to your next fall decor masterpiece? If you’ve got an old book, twine, a stapler, and a little imagination, you’re about to craft a garland so charming, even your pumpkins will be jealous.



What you need to get started


What You’ll Need:


• An old book (the dustier, the better—cough, cough—just kidding, maybe grab a tissue).

• Twine or jute (found in any hardware store or dollar store. Or your junk drawer, let’s be real).

• A stapler (aka, the adult version of a glue stick).

• Scissors (or don’t. We’ll get messy).


Step-by-Step:


1. Rip Those Pages (Responsibly): Time to show that old book who’s boss. Gently rip out pages so that they they stay intact like a folded birthday card. Bonus points if you can manage to do it without ripping too many pages. These books are old remember. Fragile.

2. OR Fold Like a Pro: Fold each page in half so it’s ready to become part of your glorious garland. Wrinkles? Totally fine. It adds character, like when you claim your bedhead is intentional.

3. Staple It: Lay your twine out on the table, throw the pages over it, and grab that stapler. Each folded page gets a staple near the top of the fold—no pressure, you’re basically a professional garland-maker now.

4. Hang and Brag: Drape your literary creation across the mantel, doorway, or anywhere you need a pop of DIY brilliance. Just be prepared for visitors to ask where you bought it (you can tell them it’s one-of-a-kind, handcrafted in the Hunson Homes Craft Lab).


And there you have it: a fall garland that screams cozy vibes without a lot of fuss (or glitter). Plus, you get the satisfaction of reusing an old book that was practically begging for a second life. Now, go hang that garland and get ready to field some major decor compliments. Happy crafting friends! 🍂✨
