Bookbinding

I saw this amazing tutorial one day and decided to try my hand at bookbinding. It's so much fun and extremely easy to make some really personal books. I'm planning to give away a few for Christmas.

 

 



 

I pretty much use whatever patchwork fabric and scrapbooking paper I have. Old ribbons and stickers. For the blue one beneath, I actually used part of the dress my grandma wore for her birthday 22 years ago. So it's very easy to make them personal.

 

 

 



Apple Tea Light Holders

I saw this somewhere once - on Pinterest maybe, I can't remember - and then last weekend when I was suddenly in a bind concerning table decorations, I thought of it. Luckily I'd just picked apples, so it was easy just to make holes for the tea lights. Very fitting for a fall time dinner table.

Owl Hat

I found a cute crochet owl hat pattern online, but when I tried it out, it didn't make sense. Or I didn't make sense. Not sure which. So I developed my own. Kind of. I made this, but I didn't write it down. The old of-course-I-can-remember-this-later issue. LOL But at least I got this little cutie out of it.

 

I could make it once, so I can make it again, right?
