I picked up these very old and a bit shabby looking little golden books from the op shop last week with the idea of making a few things. I had seen a book birdhouse on pinterest and wanted to give it a go. A wooden birdhouse was used as a base and then pretty book pictures were decoupaged on. I didn't want to buy a book house so I decided to make my own cardboard one from some boxes we had around home.
Let the glue dry and then I put some varnish on top to protect it a little.
And my birdhouse is complete. I will be sorting out some other crafts with my little golden books in the next week or so.
This is so cute. What a lovely addition to a child's room.
ReplyDeleteI love this. I think it would be easy to make an adult-decorated one, too, using images from fashion magazines, etc.
