CRAFTY!!

Posted on by illeananexry

I finished it!! Here are the pics (when I remembered to take them…) to show the process!

First 2 shelves assembled!
Regular Elmer’s glue did the trick. I just needed to clip them together so they wouldn’t shift and become lopsided.
‘Pressure! Pushing down on me!’ (Books in picture are ALL fabulous except for Iron Flame and that’s just cause I haven’t read it yet!)
Properly affixed to each other.
The start.
I had gone over it already with the varnish before deciding I had enough to make it a 3 bay shelving unit. Ended up having to repaint a little where the clips took it off 2nd round.
Looking good!
Finishing touches include (obviously) glow-in-the-dark stars!!
Looks silly, but the paint bottles kept the stars pressed down so to end adhere tightly.
How it looks empty on my bookshelf!
The bookshelves, books, bookmarks and magnifying glasses!
Tiny books, bookcases on my bookshelf!

I LOVE IT SO MUCH!!!

I actually got another 2 after these pics, so the shelves are more full now and I’ll be getting 4 more later to add again!

I plan to ask my sister to make me barcodes and spine labels for them because these are library bookcases (it was the only way I could justify keeping all copies!) and as such require certain accoutrements!!

Love y’all!

See you next week and stay crafty!
