What you need
Old book
Medium-sized clay pot
3-4 inch pape maiche star
6 inch floral foam ball

Instructions
1. Place the floral foam ball in the bottom of the clay pot and push the wooden dowel down into the foam about 1 inch deep.
2. Cover the top of the foam with floral moss.
3. Cut book pages into large to small varying sizes. The largest pieces should be around 10-12 inches and the smallest pieces should be around 3 inches. 
4. Beginning with the largest pieces, slide book pages onto the dowel, turning the pages as you go so that the corners of the pages are not lined up. 
5. Continue sliding book pages onto the wooden dowel,working largest to smallest, until about 1 inch from the top of the dowel. 
6. Glue the paper mache star to the top. Add ribbons if desired. 
All done!
