Supplies:
Old hardcover books no longer used for reading
pencil
Upholstery tacks
Clear tape
Hammer
Eye protection
And a current tetanus shot is never a bad idea….
1.Tape inside of book page together leaving the covers to open and close freely. You won’t be reading the book any more. It’s really going to become a piece of art for display.
2.Close book .Draw shape in pencil desired on cover of book. This can be such as an initial or a square something larger generally works best.
3.Push upholstery tacks into books long pencil line using fingers and if necessary, use my favorite tool the hammer to drive tack the rest of the way into the book until finished.
4.If desired, embellish with photos, stamps etc.
