craftgrrl | recycled books!

So, there is nothing that I love more than the look of old yellowing books. I found this beautiful old hardcover book about the English royal family in my favorite used book shop a while ago, and of course I had to save it from "Free To Take" bin!

I used the front and back covers as panels, and decoupaged bits of ripped up paper on top. They're a bit uneven because removing the covers from the bindings was quite tougher than I bargained for, but I'm okay with that. It gives them personality, right?
