Hello my Friend!
Last week I mentioned that I had an idea....
and I hoped it would work.
This is how I made these -Very Little Golden Book
ornament tags.
Made with scraps from my previous post.
I used the front cover -
for this project
Upcycled Perpetual Calendar
Now I will be using the back cover.
Some of the newer books have these mini
pictures on the back.
I tore a thin layer of cardboard off the back so I could
cut these out easily with scissors.
Here they are-
So cute at just about 2'' high!
Just need a scrap of thin cardboard the same size as the cover.
This will be the mini books' back cover.
You will also need
a scrap of card stock for inside the book.
Flip the cardstock-
Glue cover pieces to the back side of the cardstock.
Fold to close
I put together 4 folded pages of scrap paper
and used a needle and thread to stitch
a signature for the book.
Start center inside to outside
a then back again-
tie a knot on the inside.
See the stitches on the spine?
Here is a mini in front of a full size
Junk Journal that I made.
I think I'm going to put it with this journal !
They would be darling little ornaments or gift tags!
All of these were made with scraps!
I have loved and collected
Little Golden Books for years.
I only repurpose books that are beyond repair
or purchased for a specific purpose.
I pick them up when I go thrifting...
it's hard for me to leave them behind.
Thanks for visiting today.

Oh goodness, Lisa! These are ADORABLE!!! I've never seen anything like this done before. Such a unique and super creative way to put your own spin on holiday decorations. Thanks so much for sharing at Home Imagined this week!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe how darling these are! I actually had a couple of mini books similar to this as Christmas ornaments when I was a kid, and this really takes me back! These are amazing. Pinning to Pinterest, for sure. :) Visiting from Wonderful Wednesday Blog Hop.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely adorable and so freaking cute

Hi Lisa. These are so cute. I love minis. Happy Thanksgiving
ReplyDeleteThese are adorable! As a dollhouse lover, though, I would put little books in the dollhouse nursery, pose the governess reading to the children, have a kid lying on the floor reading, etc.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness Lisa, these are adorable. They are a feature over at this week's Handmade Monday :-)
ReplyDeleteLisa,

These are absolutely wonderful, Lisa! I just love teeny little books like this, and these are so special. I'll be featuring them at Thursday Favorite Things today. :)
