DIY Book Page Ornament | As Seen On e-elise etc
I read this post over on e-elise etc the other day, in which Erin demonstrated how to make a nifty DIY book page ornament. I love anything literary (as you can see from this post where I decorated my old uni bedroom all the way back in 2013!) so this little DIY was right up my street. I'm sure not one person will be surprised to hear that I used Mockingjay as my inspiration. This was my first attempt; it's definitely a bit rough around the edges! But I like really the concept a lot and it's something I'd definitely try again. I didn't have all the recommended materials to hand, so improvised with some cardboard and sticky tape. I did however follow the advice of scanning and printing a copy of the page - there was no way in hell I was slicing and dicing my copy of Mockingjay. My attempt here is not a patch on Erin's (seriously go and check out her blog!) but the whole idea has given me some great inspiration, which is super handy as I want to make some little crafty bits for some upcoming birthdays. If I succeed in making neater versions to give away as presents, I think I'd like to try and incorporate some mixed media if I try another one, perhaps some typewriter typography or something as simple as a few dabs of glitter!
