I found this book at one of my local thrift shops. I though it would be a good example to show you
how I recycle an unwanted book into pretty envelopes!
See this I spy book and its pretty cover?
Well, it's been discarded!
water is the damage!
Water damage at the bottom of the book!
I tear the book apart and cut the damaged bottom
I find a template that can nicely fit the 'rescued pages'
I then trace, cut and glue!
Voila!
this is the final result!
If you haven't done so come and play along
on my true or false game
Have a great day my lovies.
