Repurposed Bricks Make Beautiful Books

Talk about a weighty subject! Aussie artist, Daryl Fitzgerald of Light Reading Melbourne turns recycled bricks into literary and, for sure, home decor gold. These made-to-order pavers are hand stenciled with paint and meticulously created to mimic real novels, worn pages and all. What’s especially genius and unique about these intentionally vintage-looking “books” is that their wabi sabi texture, all the interesting cracks and chips, has been naturally revealed by time.

Make a Basket with only one piece of 12×12 paper

This morning was spent making a bunch of mini muffins with my sweet little four year old helper. We ended up making so many muffins that we decided we should probably give some away to neighbors and friends lest we eat them all ourselves! Of course this decision was made last minute and I quickly came to the realization that I didn’t have any containers to give away. Fear not, for there is a super simple way to make a crazy adorable paper basket with just one piece of 12×12 scrapbook paper. And it truly takes less than five minutes per basket. Let’s get right into it…there are a ton of pictures here!

You’ll start with a single piece of 12×12 paper with the pattern facing down. Measure 4 inches in on each side and mark with a small pencil dot. I am showing a full line for demonstration only. You’ll want to keep your marks small as they may be visible when the basket is complete. (more)
