Book Page Pumpkin with a Door Knob Stem

September 16, 2016 By Meegan 16 Comments

I imagine you are finishing costumes, buying,candy, carving pumpkins, or preparing for a Halloween party to attend. The excitement is everywhere.  As for me, I am still in Fall decorating mode with my book page pumpkin with a door knob stem.

I really do have a fascination with book pages and all that you can do with them.  Why?  I have no idea, other than I like the look, feel, and aged look they bring into our home.  To me they are a piece of art themselves.  With worn, torn and aged pages, they tell more than a written story.

Mothers Day Book Page Garland

May 6, 2013 By Meegan 5 Comments

Hello Hello!!  I am excited today to share a tutorial for a Mothers Day Book Page Garland.  It’s super easy and perfect for a Mother’s Day decor!!

Mothers Day Book Page Garland

 

So, here we go!!

Elements needed:

Chipboard cards

Paint

Stencils

Twine

Fan Folded Book Pages

Hole Punch

I found these fabric covered chipboard cards at Michaels (4 in a package).  The package was labeled “Journal”, but I thought I could use them for a garland incorporating  it with my book page garland.

Using stencils I decided to spell out “Mom”.

I used craft paint along with my stencils.  Pink was just the right color!!  Love it.

Using the same technique as I did with my book page garland, I had a Mother’s Day Garland in no time at all.

My DIY Book Page Magnetic Board

April 9, 2013 By Meegan Leave a Comment

DIY Book Page Magnetic Board??  Really??  We all know I am obsessed with book pages, right??  If, you didn’t know, you will soon find out.

I can not resist a book page idea or craft.  I have been looking at my magnetic board wondering how I could change it up.  It’s nice and all, but I wanted something a little more to fit with my other decor.

Then it hit me!!  Use book pages!!

My DIY Book Page Magnetic Board

Here is my lovely magnetic board before.  She has been natural, red, gray, and now hint of olive green.

I thought about using mod podge on her.  But my book pages are 40 yrs old and very thin.  I was worried about them tearing and wrinkling up.  AND, I didn’t know how well the magnets would work through the mod podge.

So I used the next best thing!!

My DIY Book Page Magnetic BoardPacking tape!!  I used small, rolled pieces of tape to adhere the back of the book pages to the magnetic board.

Using an old dictionary that I used here and here; I placed my pages staggered, so they wouldn’t look “perfectly” lined up.

I also liked using different sections from the dictionary.  So the whole board would have variety.

My DIY Book Page Magnetic BoardNot too shabby, huh??  The pages are thin enough that my magnets will still hold cards, pictures and wedding announcements.  I am really pleased with how it looks.  Book pages always make me happy and a little obsessed!!

Thanks for stopping by and following me!!  I love having you here with me along the way.
