The Tattered Book Project...the one you've been wanting to do.


















Vintage books...minus their jackets!

seam binding...prefered crinkled and tattered.

Stack em,

Wrap em,

You could go a little crazy with this project...

sky's the limit!





Embellishing could be the best part...

old keys,

dried roses....

get crackin!



Get your craft on...

~Kathy~

    The simplicity of this stack of book pages is what really intrigues. Hmmm...what are the book covers doing??? Marvelous May to you...

    The book covers are all in a bunch....I have an idea for those too!
    But today is a cleaning day and strolling by the window a thousand times to watch the shed being sided!
    Better hurry boys...the rain is coming.

    Thanks for dropping by today,
