When I saw this banner made from vintage Golden Books, I was smitten. I knew I had to make one, too. But making one was so easy (and fun! and quick! — as long as my mom was watching the girls, that is) that I ended up making four.
My mom and I used them to decorate for my sister’s baby shower. And after the shower — two for sis, two for me. Great in a kid’s room.
i LOVE these! but i would feel weird about cutting up books… didn’t you?!
Oh, I probably should have mention that most of the books were thrifted and in disrepair. But yes, it still hurts me to cut up books — I always want to keep and try to mend them even when they’re beyond mending. But I do feel better using them for a project like this than just tossing them out.
I cringed when I read this at first because I was thinking of all my collectable Golden Books! I totally didn’t think about books in disrepair. Will you post a little tutorial? I would love to make one for Kate’s bedroom!
Awesome! Great repurposing!
Agreed, I love the “re-purposing” (great word, that.)
Beautiful, fun, joyful, entertaining and somehow even educational.
Cheers!
I must admit that buntings aren’t usually my style, I feel they are a bit played out in blog land. That said, I love these, great job!
This is so beautiful – just so simple and fun. I am now on the hunt for Golden Books, though I wonder if I could find a good source online for photos. Now I must hunt…
