Materials:

• Hardback books
• Paperback books
• Caromal Colours Toner
• Lace, linens, burlap, etc.
• Adhesive
• Various embellishments
• Velvet ribbon

Instructions:

1. I tore the covers from a large hardback book and 2 of the paperback books.
    
2. I then aged the outer edges and top page with Caromal Colours Toner.
   
   
    
3. Lace, linens, burlap, pillowcases, etc., pulled from my fabric shelf.
   
   
    
4. I cut bits and pieces from here and there, then used Elmer’s glue to adhere them to the books.
   
   
    
5. I also went through my buttons and jewelry jars for other embellishments.  That is an earring on the top right corner of the book.
   
   
    
6. I wrapped a velvet ribbon around each book. I tied the two paperback books together.
