They made a lovely craft out of an unnecessary book

  • Dec 17, 2020

Hello, friends!

Anticipating angry comments about the spoiled book, I want to say right away that this book is one of the volumes of the collected works of V. AND. Lenin. I respect this person, but to read what he wrote, forgive me... I would never ruin a standing book.

These books were bought at a flea market for mere pennies in order to ignite the stove. You can consider me a barbarian, vandal, hooligan and the like, that's your right!

I am sure that collectors will also stand up now, calling me unpleasant words. They say these books will cost a lot of money in time. I may not deny it, but this is your wave, not mine.

And besides, this is my book, what I want, I do with it.

And for those who are interested in what we got from the book, welcome to the article!

For manufacturing we used:

· A thick book;

· Stationery knife, scissors, ruler, pencil;

· Thick cardboard;

· Hot glue and PVA glue;

· Bandage;

· Acrylic paints of different colors;

· Acrylic lacquer;

· Decorative flowers and leaves;

Step 1.

Removed the pages from the book, leaving only the binding.

Step 2.

Cut strips of the required size from thick 3 mm cardboard.

Step 3.

I glued cardboard strips to the binding to make a box.

Step 4.

We glue the entire box, outside and inside, with bandages on PVA glue. Leave to dry for several hours.

Step 5.

We paint with lilac acrylic paint.

When the first coat of paint has dried, apply a little white paint and dry.

Step 6.

We cover the box with acrylic varnish.

Step 7.

We glue decorative flowers and leaves.

It turned out to be a wonderful box. We use it as a home first aid kit.

I know that it was possible to glue a box entirely from thick cardboard without using a book, but I wanted to do just that.
