OK, I actually did this project on Saturday, because who has the time to do craft projects during the week — I’m supposed to be working! And then after work I’m just too tired to do anything really creative…I’m sure that I’m not alone in feeling this way!
But check out my finished project:
It’s an autumn-themed book banner! This was one the free projects sponsored by my local library — it was really fun to do! The craft bag included the different colored paper, the cutting templates, the cord, even a glue stick! I am terrible cutting paper with scissors –my lines are never exact, even with a template, but this was supposed to be fun, so I just went with it!
And it was fun! The bag included photocopied pages of a book that we cut into shapes to glue onto the different colored pages. At least I hope that they were photocopied book pages…but I can’t imagine a library promoting destroying books…
My finished project isn’t perfect, but it fits exactly over the window in my home office! It adds a little bit of color and style to the room, which I need since I’m spending all my damn time in here during the past 8 months…
And a little creativity goes a long way when you’re stuck at home during a pandemic. Already looking forward to the next craft!
