hi everyone,
in this video, i'm recycling some old clothes to make book covers and decorating them with book-corners and vintage illustrations to add an aged look to the covers.
i'm using an old linen dress, A3 chip-boards cut to sizes as the base for the covers, vintage illustrations & labels to decorate the covers and some very basic tools: scissors, ruler, bone folder.
thank you so much for spending the time and i hope you enjoy this video and will return to watch the upcoming projects in this series.
xo,
