Book clutches!
Hi all!
Over the past couple months, one of my obsessions is making book clutches out of old unwanted books. They're not as cool as the SUPER COOL ones on Etsy, but they're actually pretty handy. And since it was so fun to make, I'm holding a craft event in San Francisco, inviting people to come make book clutches with me. It's on Tuesday, October 16th from 3-5pm at the Chinatown Branch Library.
What do you think?
My very first one was hideous and made from glue and a old pillow case
And then I made a bunch more and I'm much better now lol.
Here I'm going to reveal the extent of my geekness. If you can guess the silhouettes, I'll give you a internet cookie.
And also experimenting with types of closures: velcro and ribbon.
If you're interested in making these, I will be teaching people how to make these clutches at my library; All materials will be provided and program is free and open to everyone. If you're in town, please feel free to come join us. However, supplies are limited and I'm asking for people to register, but if you're not sure, just drop by and I'll see what I can do.
Place: Chinatown Branch Library, 1135 Powell St. (between Jackson and Washington), San Francisco, CA.
Date: Tuesday, October 16, 2012
