DCD #261 – National Library Day

Use a book!  Our challenge at Die Cuttin’ Divas this week is to use a book on your project.  I have a couple of damaged dictionaries that I scooped up when our school library was discarding them.  This was the perfect use for them!

I knew I didn’t want to make a card.  I wanted to try something new.  My old pal, Google, gave me some good ideas, and I did try something new!

I cut out a pair of hearts and used the rhinestone feature on my Silhouette software to make equidistant little holes around the edge.  Then I stitched them together using Trendy Twine, stuffing them with cotton balls along the way.  This is it:

I like the placement of the horse on the front.  I don’t quite know what I’ll use it for, but it sure was fun to make!  🙂  It will probably just adorn my craft room.

I’m sure there are dozens of ways of incorporating a book into a craft project.  We’d love to see what you come up with.  Please link your book project over at Die Cuttin’ Divas!
