Dear Friends,
A while back when my dd was moving to her new place she told me she needed one of my bookcases. I did not mind that she needed one but I did not like that this old thing had so many cut out heart and her house was just too cute to put this dumb thing in her living room. So I got out my trusty tools, scissors, a dictionary and mod pog.
I started ripping and gluing and covering all those hearts right up.
It actually took much longer than I thought!
But it was looking so cute that I just couldn't stop. I did take it about 2 days to dry because I put a top coat on it so that none of the books would rip the paper loose.
She took it home and wrapped her books in brown paper.

Now that is really cute. I thought you would end up painting it but I LOVE the printed look! Then the brown paper book covers just finishes it off!! Free and so perfect! Well done ladies.
Great job! I know how long that takes, but so worth it!

Really clever idea. I can see me doing the same using old dress patterns. I don't need to cover hearts just give a book case a new spin. Love it.
This bookcase is a real sweet heart how! Lezlee
