Introducing: Book Letters
For the complete tutorial click here.
Today as the sun was reflecting from the beautiful white snow outside, I pulled out the husband's camera and captured my new DIY Craft Project. My inspiration came from my Father-in-law's job as a Librarian and his love for books--that's it! It's funny sometimes where an idea hits you and what causes your mind to wander from thought to thought.
After visualizing this idea in my head, I nervously typed it into Etsy and Google hoping no one had made this exact craft before and guess what--I was in luck! It is becoming harder and harder to create an original craft because every time you think it is "original"--BOOM--there it is, already on someone else's blog. I am happy to report my "original" Book Letters to you all.
This craft was simple with rewarding results..the best kind of craft in my book :)
I hope you enjoy the following images:
RLM: Randy Lee Miller, my Father-in-law
W: Williams, my Sister-in-law Naomi and her family
I have extra paper strips cut and the sides of these letters may need a little makeover ;) We shall see what tonight brings! I am still very pleased with this project and think they would look good in any home!--okay, okay, I may be little bias!

Well, it's a day later and guess what..I had more fun with these book letters! Taking advice from my husband, I covered the sides of the letters with left over page strips. He feels it completes the project and I like it, but I must say I prefer the simple white sides. I decided to add a few feminine touches by including my flowers, Petal Style, from my Felt Fun tutorial. If only I had some left over brown ribbon from my Acorn Wreath to hang it..oh well, there's always another day :)
Thank you for reading!
