Framed Book Covers

OK, here is the last project (for now) in Sweetie Pie's book corner that I've been working on HERE and HERE.

It is only fitting that the artwork in the book corner be book related.  So I framed the book jackets (or dust covers) from two of her favorite books:


Fancy Nancy
Pinkalicious


The one frame I had already spray painted white for another project but I didn't like it there so I didn't use it.
The other frame I got from a free pile in front of someone's house.  I actually picked up 4 frames there, this being the smallest and a great fit for the Pinkalicous cover.  I have several ideas of what to do with the other frames so stay tuned for that.  As for this small frame, it was gold so I spray painted it white to match the other frame.

We just used 12x12 scrapbook paper that Sweetie Pie picked out, to matte the book jackets.   


I really like the way it turned out.  Her reading corner is looking great.  The only other thing I want to do is replace the three tiered Ikea trofast storage unit with a comfy bean bag.

  5. Thanks for the nice comments. This was such an easy project and the covers can be switched out as her tastes change.

    @Shannon - framing vintage books would be cool, I'd love to see it when you're done.
