What was your inspiration?

I wanted to re-purpose a book in a way I had not before.

What are you most proud of?

That it worked.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

First, make sure you use a book that is not too thick. The weaving of the actual paper that makes the frame can be a bit tricky, just go slowly and be sure to secure as you go.

I thought so too! I have a son and a future daughter in law who are both getting advanced degrees in library science... I thought it seemed like a perfect thing for them as soon as I made it! Thanks so much for leaving a comment!
