Book Pages at Try it on Tuesday

Hello Everyone and thank you for your visit.

Another great challenge at Try it on Tuesday for the next two weeks so I hope you will join in with us. The theme is Book Pages. If you are short of inspiration then my friends on the design team have lots for ideas for you to see when you visit TIOT. You can make anything at all so long as it follows our theme for the challenge.

 I made a birdcage folded book

 I chose a strong, hard backed book and it had a lovely coloured paper stuck to the inside front and back which made a good start for me

This is close-up of the folds-tuck them well into the middle of the pages.

 Carry on folding until you have a half circle of pages. Then cut away the rest of the pages which leaves the spine of the book cover as a stand when you stick it together



Easier to remove a few pages at a time if there are a lot left. Decorate the birdcage before you stick the end pages to the book cover back and front. This way you can tuck in any lace etc. 

Decorate as you wish


This shows how the spine holds book upright as a stand

Better view of 'stand'

Now it's your turn so do join in with whatever ideas you have for book pages.

Love Chrissie xx

    An awesome book alteration Chrissie, love the decorations you added. It was a real good tip about tucking in before sticking down.
    Have a good day

A fine bright day but colder today so I may fit in a walk later though I had some curtains to make before I do anything else. At Tag Tuesday this week the theme is Diva. I don't always remember to show my tags for there as you need to be a member and and do your own posts on Tag Tuesday's blog. I chose Elizabeth Taylor as my Diva she was so beautiful in films but definitely a Diva in her private life.

We had gone there to see the wonderful Rodin sculpture 'The Kiss' which graced the entrance to the Gallery. Then we strayed into the next part and a whole wall was covered in dots. It didn't look like art to
