Upcycled Bookshelf Accent

Instructions

1. Using a pencil and a ruler, measure out the sections of the books you want to cut out. Mark them with a pencil.
2. Begin cutting the books with the razor blade along the lines. Please be careful to watch your fingers. You do not have to use too much pressure for the paper to cut. For those who have access to a band saw, you may want to use that for cutting to save time.
3. Make sure you do not cut two sides of certain books for there to be edges to have this project lean on.
4. Paint all of your book spines with Waverly Inspirations paints, or any desired color.
5. Using a hot glue gun, glue all book together with the longer ends on either side.
6. Let dry. Then for extra support you can glue a piece of small cardboard or wood if you desire.
7. Cover up any electronics or boxes on a shelf of your home!
