The ever creative Deb at Paxton Valley Folk Art showed a handmade domino book she won in a giveaway. See it here. She added a link to a tutorial on these so, yes, I gave it a go. I already had a bunch of collage dominoes I made a year or so back that I could never sell on Etsy. So I pulled out a few and made them into these little accordion style books. Once again, I simplified this project to make blank books.
The fronts
The backs
Here is the interior back of the bluebird book. A piece of heavy scrapbook paper.
This is the front of the paper. As in the directions, I added scrapbook paper "panels" to each section.
These are awfully cute. Wouldn't it be fun to just write a simple message to someone and send it? Of course, you could use them as mini albums too or write a poem or...
Have a creative day!
Aren't those so cute! Who thinks of these things? obviously someone more creative than I. :-)
ReplyDeleteVery clever. What a cute idea!
ReplyDeleteThese would be adorable as party favors... or thank you gifts, or a number of ways to use them...
ReplyDeletethey're just as cute as can be.
I love that you left the backs of the dominoes plain. So many artists completely cover them up, and then no one knows they're dominoes!
ReplyDeleteYou are so crafty, Diane - these are so cute!!
ReplyDeleteWow, these are great!! Lots of work!
ReplyDeleteThey are beautiful Diane! Such a talented gal you are :O) Wouldn't they make perfect gifts to give to your sweetie with a special message written inside? I know they will fly off the shelves in your Etsy store.
ReplyDeleteLike everyone above, I think these are so cute! I like that you left the dominoes showing too.
