This week it is my sister's art show opening. I was supposed to be there in our hometown for this event, but unfortunately I wasn't able to make it. So with my guilty feelings and the fact that I wanted to make it up and also reassure her that everything would turn out great, I decided to make her a little book.
For some reason (I don't know which), I was not going to show this little book here on the blog (so excuse the really poor quality of the pictures). Since I made this book for her, I have started making others, and found them quite addictive, that is why I decided to share them with you.
All you need is love and well... paper, glue, and scissors, and a needle and thread to tie the whole thing together. The quotes I found on
Flow magazine, but you can just write them yourself.
For my sister's book I used mostly encouraging quotes, or ones that had to do with artists. And of course a picture of my kids (that was a no brainer).
Just make it personal, and I'm sure the recipient will be as happy as you making it.
You can add as many pages as you like, mine are 2 pages folded, which makes 8 pages to decorate, which I found was the perfect amount.
I hope you are inspired by this idea and decide to make some of your own.
The video from the top comes from my
instagram, if you like to take a better look.
Have a great start of the week.

I love this!! I made an inspirational quote book for a pen pal and I loved hers so much that I had to make one for myself! This one is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! I have done little books before, but not like this one, and found it really fun to make, and plus I love quotes ;)
DeleteTiempo. Amor. Dedicacion. Tiene todos los aditamentos de apoyo, calor. Trabajado al "rompe" del detalle. Mueve todas las fibras......... Que divinura!

ReplyDeleteNo, it was in Colombia, but Marlon sounds like a wonderful representative, next time? And thanks, it was quite fun, and special.
DeleteIts lovely...and very inspiring ... I think I shall make one for myself and also for my niece who loves quotes!
