In Love With: Book Sculpture

indie*galore

Ever since I made my recycled paper wreath I've been a little obsessed with paper crafts.  I've always loved paper & often collect bits & pieces of wrapping, labels, book pages.  I'll take anything & everything. I even made my own paper last summer, So when I saw the above sculpture I searched for more...

DIY Paper Wreath

I've been hearing a lot about vintage book wreaths lately, and as you know from my paper village and my wall art, I LOVE working with paper.  I found this really simple and easy wreath tutorial at Living with Lindsay so few nights ago after class I pulled out the glue gun and made one for our front door.  Here is my process in pictures...

Handmade Wall Art

I am super cheap/broke while in school, but our walls are so bare.  I wanted to add some texture and colour, so I made this piece of wall art last summer and I'm still very much in love with it.

DIY: Handmade Ideabook/Notebook

I like to carry around some sort of note pad or book with me to write down ideas, draw pictures of brainstorms, glue in magazine clippings, or just jot down things I like while I'm out and about.  I have several different 'ideabooks', as I call them, scattered around the house, but I always have one in my bag (except when I take it out to remind myself of the idea and forget to return it to my bag). I usually make my own books because I either can't find the size of book I like, or the books in stores have ugly paper, and I hate it when notebooks only have lined paper in them, it makes me feel like I can't draw pictures, weird I know, don't ask.
