Coffee Filter and Book Page Garland

June 4, 2013 By Meegan 1 Comment

If you haven’t been able to tell already, I like garlands.  Mostly paper garlands because as you know I have an obsession with book pages.  I thought you would like a little detail on how I made this coffee filter and book page garland.  It hangs over our bed.

My friend, Dawn saw it the other day and said it reminds her of shells and starfish.  I love that idea!!

Coffee Filter and Book Page GarlandI made the twine long enough so I could hang it anywhere.

Coffee Filter and Book Page GarlandI started out by making my book pages just as I did with my Book Page Garland.  Super easy.  And cute anywhere!

Coffee Filter and Book Page GarlandI shared How to Dye Coffee Filters with Food Coloring.  Once my coffee filters were dry, I began to string my book pages and coffee filters together.  Alternating filters and pages.  In the end, I came out with this:

Book Page Valentine Art

February 3, 2014 By Meegan 11 Comments

I have been working on my Valentine Shelves and thought you might like to see the Book Page Valentine Art I made last week.  I am really liking it, AND it was easy peasy!!

Doesn’t it look great for Valentine’s Day??  I love making anything with book pages, so I could not resist making book page Valentine art.

I started out with 2 book pages from a vintage dictionary I bought from the thrift store.  I sealed them together with a glue stick.  Using a cookie cutter as my guide,

Using a cookie cutter as my guide, and a pencil, I traced around the heart.

I used just very little paint, so you could see shades of red, not just a red painted heart.  Some areas are darker than others, wwhich is the look I was hoping for.

Valentine Shelves

This picture is a good example of what I mean.  There are various shades of red depending on how little or how much paint I had on my brush.  I tried hard to define the points and curves on the heart, so it didn’t look like a blob from a distance.  Besides that, It looks perfect with my Valentine Polka Dot Bunting I shared with you on Saturday.

Finding the perfect frame for my Book Page Valentine art was easy.  I like to use empty frames for decorating all around our home, this one is from the living room.  I placed the book page Valentine art in the frame a put it on my kitchen shelves.  Just the way I pictured it!!

What do you think, are you going to make some book page Valentine art ??  Let me know if you do, I really would love to hear about it.

Thanks for joining me today.  I have so many new followers and I am truly grateful to have you here.

Make it a wonderful Monday!

Children’s Service Christmas Gift

November 26, 2018 By Meegan 1 Comment

I am busy this cold day making crafts and finishing off with the decorating of our cottage in the desert. When we were raising our kids, we always wanted them to know how to serve others. Not, just at Christmastime, but all year long. Today, I am going to share my version of a Children’s Service Christmas Gift.

It is easy and fun for kids to create their own gifts. This Children’s Service Christmas Gift can easily be made by a child-with adult supervision.
