Hello ! Inspired by a video on Facebook from some time ago. Three old hardback books ready for the recycle bin. I painted the covers with black acrylic paint (did not take long as they were black already but patchy !) I took gold wax and waxed the edges. I used some rub on to add embellishment. The wood feathers I painted with silver metallic pain. I then glued the books together and tied with string and ribbon. I then attached a key to some string and glued it inside the pages so that it would hang at the side. Then I added a silver filigree piece. A quick and inexpensive piece of décor.
