A few weeks ago I started a project just for me!

"Do you have tons of leftovers? Why not turn some of it into a beautiful blanket? Free video tutorial! You make your blanket as big or small as you want. This is a beginner friendly project. I used yarn from different brands, but made sure not to mix cotton yarn with wool. My blanket took a couple of weeks to finish and I tried to use matching colors. I hope that you like this tutorial!"
I had a great time making this box! It ended up being a bit harder than expected, but with the right tools I think it would go rather quicker. Most of the time spend was sawing. and sawing. and sawing. Whew! If you use a hand saw like I did, prepare yourself for a workout. I took pictures of my methods. They are not always pretty but I am satisfied with the end product. Here we go! Supplies: Set of Books Bookmark Mod Podge Brush or sponge Wood Glue Saw Belt, weights, or clamps Set aside two books. These will serve as the sides of your box. Glue the bookmark into the book you wish to be in the center if your box. This will be the handle used to pull off the lid. Make an "L" of glue on the cover of each book. This should attach the binding and top sides of the books. The spines will be the front of the box and the glued together tops will be the lid. Use your belt, weight, or clamps to hold the books tightly together while the glue dries. Mod Podge the crap out of the pages all the way around each book. Let it dry completely. Draw a line across the top of the books about two inches from the spines. Now for the tough part. Saw along the line to separate the two inch section of binding from the rest of the books. Saw until your fingers bleed and your arms fall off. Okay, well stop if your arms fall off... It should look something like this... Glue the spine front to the two books you set aside earlier. I chose to Mod Podge the pages of the two books closed before this step, but you can leave it so the books can still open if you wish. Set this part aside to dry. Next it is time to make the lid. More sawing! Yay! If you are doing this by hand, may the force be with you. If you have and electric saw, I hate you. Cut about and inch and a half from the top of your spineless book stack. Cut that spineless stack! Cut it! Mod Podge all sides of the lid. My lid expanded a bit during the sawing process. I chose to belt the pieces together while the Mod Podge dried to keep it the right size. Take a look at the covers you have left in your book stack. Choose those that you would like to be used for the back, bottom, and interior of the box. First, cut two of the covers the the size of the interior of your box. Glue one on the inside and one on the back. Place you box on one more of the covers and trace the bottom onto the cover. Cut it out and glue in the bottom piece. Let it dry and you're done! If you want the lid to stay attached, it would be easy to add a hinge. I feel so stealthy having this on my bookshelf. I hope you have enjoyed the pictures of me winging a project without a real plan. If you decide to try it I would love to see your pictures! Until next time, happy doing!

Happy New Year! It's almost 2018! And to celebrate I thought I would whip up a little C2C (corner to corner) crochet banner! Each number is crocheted separately so the project goes pretty quickly.

Thank you for the lovely comments about the flower show I'm glad you all enjoyed the photo's. Moogly Afghan CAL 2015 The next block for the crochet along will be out tomorrow and I'm all caught up at least with the making of them but not with the blogging we have now completed eight blocks here are blocks five and six.... Block 5 This was a nice one to make with a photo tutorial, I had to work an extra round for this to get the required 12 inches. Although it is a pretty square it's just a bit too lacy for a blanket square for my liking. Unbroken Hearts Granny Square Those holes in the centre are quite huge, I may replace it with one with a more closed pattern but I will leave it for now and decide later Block 6 Fountain of Roses I chose one of the alternatives for block six because although the chosen block Solstice Sun Rising was beautiful it was another very lacy design. I really love this square and the pattern was well written I can easily see the fountain in the middle and I think that the rose rounds are so pretty. Just click here to see my blocks 1-4 I will post the others once they have had their photo shoot. :) linking with Snickerdoodle Sunday Handmade Monday - Creative Tuesday - Eyeloveknots - Link and share Wednesday - Lunamon Design
