| Once you are done with your eggos, your book should be completely shut. Now you have a canvas to create on. |
|
| Cut out petals from left over scraps. (sorry about the picture. Photography and cooking, I just don’t get) |
|
| Sew or glue the petals to something a little heavier to make the petals more stiff. I used burlap. Also try to smile while you work! |
|
| Add Bling. Use pins, old broken jewelry, or buttons. |

| Some how pom poms always find their way into whatever I am making! |

Hi Angela,
I thought of another genius idea for the RD book covers! If you want to reply on my blog, I will let you know…I think you of all people could sell them like hotcakes. I also want to ask if you've ever worked on a piece of painted furniture that had some veneer missing. I found one for $30 this weekend that I can't decide if it would be worth it.
Thanks! Brandy in Texas
