Vintage WallPaper Covered Books

post from The Polka Dot Closet on 08 June 2011 09:34:33 PM. © The Polka Dot Closet

Ok, I confess it's not really books, and not really vintage wallpaper.

This was actually one of those book boxes....Tell me I fooled you for just a second!

These where pretty popular at one time.

I see them from time to time at the thrift stores and always snap them up. They're really fun to transform.

Graphics Fairy has a great selection of vintage wallpaper graphics. I printed off four different styles.

Then Mod Podged the sheets on

I printed some French book titles on labels, also from Graphics Fairy, and Mod Podged them over the "Wallpaper".

I put these "Books" in my booth at Orange Tree and price them at $24

This was a fun and easy little project.
Don't pass these book boxes up when you see them, you could alter them anyway you like to fit your taste and style
Happy Creating!Carol

The more insight you have in this area, the less time you are apt to lie awake at night, wondering. And even when you may have acted differently in a specific situation, upon review, this insight generally provides the best answer for moving forward.It is quite possible to see yourself exactly as other people see you; however, this takes courage, and the development of some insight. So, if you dare, have a peek in the mirror...

It can animate a conventional piano, or provide new physical interfaces for touching music. But let’s not wait for it to happen; let’s get hacking.

Touch, Plus Tactile: In Gaming as in Research,
Physical Controls Augment Touchscreens

The gaming industry has made their bet, and it’s that touchscreens go better with tactile controls. Might digital musicians reach the same conclusion? A funny thing has happened on the way to the touch era. The vision of a device like the iPad is minimalist to the extreme: an uninterrupted, impossibly-slim metal slate, as impenetrable … Continue →
