Book creation

[smallhobbit]

Yesterday's Dare to Dabble was Book Creation.  Not creating a book, but using an old book to create something new.

We began with an old book.



Opened it out and folded one page in half inwards and then folded again to make a full right-angled triangle at one end, a small triangle at the other end



Which was repeated for some more pages

   

Until nearly all of them were folded and it was very hard to keep folding, because of the thickness of the folded pages



Googly eyes and a felt nose were added



To make a hedgehog.  After which all that was needed was a felt butterfly

This one would only have gone to the charity shop, and possibly then been remaindered so I don't think it lost out too much.

A book would have to be falling apart before I could start doing things to it, In fact I own several that genuinely ARE falling apart, lol! I think it's a librarian mentality. I feel protective towards them 'cause I'm daft.
