Just a note from a librarian. I LOVE that you are using old books. I made a run recently to a second had store for old books for the aged and discoloured effect. I love the robin hood book and the french title I found. Crazy fun! Fact is old books really do deteriorate and wind up in the trash or recycle so why not use them this way? I love this tut. Thanks for posting! Great little trick with the string. Thanks again.

so cute! I was making kind of same flowers (same principle)... but I will definitely try this as well...those buttons are so cute!

[vol4itza87]

you talking too much

[ibkristykat]

I don't like the idea of using the actual page from the books themselves but would rather scan/copy it onto cardstock...... I love books too much to tear it up.

[scarlety123]

what a cute idea. I can assure you that the paper in vintage books will not be acid free but depending on the craft you are doing, this is great.

Thank you sooooooo much Dawn. This was extremely helpful and so cute. I am a very crafty person and trying to MAKE my 11 yr old more like MOMMY (smile) and she's actually loving your website. She also says thank youuuuuu MISS DAWN... LOL

What a great idea to recycle old books and save money on paper at the same time!! Love it!!

[jtterpst]

i've always loved your cards, and I'm so thrilled to see that your now doing videos.

[karaokelola]

Love the video. Thanks for sharing. Question: what type of string did you use for the button?

[kathydid47]

I love this! I have tons of buttons and tons of old paper! Thanks for this!

[anneschil1]

Thank you, I have been wanting to know how to do this!

[attemptcreativity]

That is such a great and easy flower to make. Thanks for sharing!

[pinkscrapper99]

Hi Dawn, love the flower. Do you know if books are acid free? I thought maybe if the book was old enough, it wouldn't matter anymore. Thank you so much. Carlene

[DawnMcVey]

Hi Carlene,

I'm sorry but I don't honestly know if vintage books are acid free or not. I suppose it could be different with each book.

[Tethered2Home]

Super Cute. I'm so glad your making videos now.

[MsZperez]

Love your video. I made one while I see your video. Love this flower. Thanks for share your ideas. Zeila

[TubinNan]

AWESOME, Dawn! Love the video...love the flowers. I'm definitely going to make some today...and get to the Goodwill store...haha. Suggestion: I know you have been having a lot of snow lately. Could you please show a view out your window for those of us not in the Midwest.  We're praying the bad weather is going to end now and you're all okay.

[BalouSFN]

I will be making some of these today! Thank you for sharing.

[joic81]

[spmissy]

Love the video! Can I ask how you are holding your phone/camera up to shoot the video?

[DawnMcVey]

I balance my iPhone on a metal yard stick that's wedged into my paper storage and sticking out over my desk. It's all very high-tech! Hahaha!

[spmissy]

Brilliant! LOL I think I'm going to get one of those tiny bendy tripods for my camera.
