Repurposed Books

November 12, 2015 @ 8:00 am - 12:00 pm

This class presents ways to re-use “good” books gone “bad!” These projects are designed to show off our love of books and make use (or re-use) of their shape and format. Learn to use thrift shop books to create a variety of unique decorative and useful conversation pieces. Projects include: a Classic Book-into-Portfolio case; a Book Photo Frame—made from the patterned covers of old Reader’s Digest Condensed Books, plus a bonus horizontal book photo frame; a No-Sew Book Cover for your E-Reader or Netbook; and 3-D sculptural folded book wall hanging and desktop cardholders. Lee’s other “Repurposed” book projects will be shown and discussed so you’ll go home with plenty of patterns and ideas.

Cost:  $75 (includes materials)

Dates:  Thursday, November 12, 2015, 9:00am to 1:00pm
