Book Hook
Friday, January 11, 2013
I have a bit of an obsession with vintage children's books. Perhaps it stems from my years of teaching. As a child, I loved to visit the library or the book mobile in the summer. The smell of books, their fun covers,
wonderful vintage pictures,
I love it all. But, alas I cannot keep them all (I may be trying to buy them all, though). It was time for me to start using some of them for projects, the reason I have justified purchasing them in the first place. I picked three with an animal theme to make this fun and colorful coat hook:
I screwed the books to a board,
sealed them with some clear sealer and added hooks,
Here is what the back looks like--I added an extra board--decided it needed a little more.
Even the youngest of kids can organize and keep things neat with hooks. Find more ideas at Donna's Funky Junk Interiors.
