Work In Progress
I started this on Sunday evening...I had to stop and be patient and let the glue dry so I let it sit for 2 days and now I want to work on it again!! I found these great embellishments on ebay for a pretty good deal and I have had this purple velvet for about 12 years (no joke!). It started out as a yard and I have cut little pieces here and there for different projects. The yard cost me close to 20$ as it is real high quality velvet.
The notepad holder I bought at Christmas Tree Shoppe for about 2$ and it is my prototype. My experiment. If it comes out great, I'll probably try to sell it. If not, well, I'll probably rip it apart and use the stuff on something else!! The original cover of this thing was a hideous beach scene in oranges and greens. I also bought a matching spiral bound notebook/journal with the same design that i want to do something to. Can't really cover it like I did this one because of the spiral. There is no way to make it look finished. So I might paint it and do a collage or something. Hopefully this will be a way to be more unique with my items. I searched on journals and found nothing on etsy that was embellished with metal or velvet or what not.
