 Hello everybody, welcome to my channel, it's Iwa from Bohemian Crafting and today I would like to show you how you can create this and what you should use for creating my spring or Easter cutting plate I did use book pages and it's very easy to make but you will need book pages from one book or similar sized books and start to glue them together use glue stick because it doesn't wrinkle your paper make sure you will apply the glue on all the book page everywhere, then take another book page and place it on first one match the sides and press for pressing the book pages together you can use brayer and with brayer press the book pages or just with your hand and make sure you are pressing them together nicely and glue together as many book pages as you want to make thickness of your cutting plate the way you would like to have I do have here about half centimeter thickness and it was I think 80 book pages now I'm not sure, I think 80 book pages I did use but I'm not sure and again make sure you do have glue everywhere that will eliminate the bubbles in your plate and again take another one place it on that previous one match the sides and press and continue till you have the thickness you want so once you glued the last page you want to add in there take something heavy place it over your book pages and let it sit for about 2 hours so my book board is already dry it's quite strong I'm gonna take sanding paper and I'm gonna sand all the edges to make them straight and evenly finish and I'm gonna also sand the ends these corners so in the end this will look more like a wood now I notice that my corners of that book are not that strongly glued so I'm gonna take a brush and PVA glue I do have here just leftover of PVA glue so I'm gonna take that and with this PVA glue I'm gonna glue the corners together so I'm gonna apply the glue all around and I'm gonna let this dry and now it comes about these images I'm gonna lift off one I did print it out both of these images on a normal I think it's ATGSM printer paper just the cheapest one I found in my stuff the lightest kind of ish and I'm gonna rip this paper around and I'm gonna take that PVA glue put that PVA glue on my beautiful image and I'm gonna make sure that I do have glue on all that image everywhere so I can place it on my book page plate and I'm gonna take my brayer and I'm gonna go over it, over my image so that way I know I will spread the glue evenly and now it needs to dry I will let it dry to very next day so it's very next day our plate is, this is dry totally so now I'm gonna use water and I'm gonna water the top paper let it soak the water and I will try to roll the paper off this top one and I'm gonna let this dry so you do have all dry and now what I'm gonna do I'm gonna be using Bindex Studio PBO Studio Acrylic Bindex it's acrylic binder and it's using for mixing with acrylics and also for collages so this I'm gonna be using between the layers of the colors as a separator it dries nice and quite fast so I'm gonna put thin layer of this Bindex it's something like if you will use some acrylic base paint so with this I'm gonna seal my first layer I think the top is dry now I've got here just plastic lid I'm gonna be using it for acrylic paints I will be using black and probably some of these brown for shadows and first I'm gonna add to my little cutting board white painting for that I'm gonna be using dry brush technique and I'm gonna be using this brush with hot hair so I'm gonna apply white color and from the edges so now I'm gonna let it dry white color is dry and I'm gonna be using this black acrylic I think I'm gonna add a little bit of the Bindex I will start to add a little bit of kind of like wooden planks if I will imagine that the wood will be ripped off I think it's too wet and to make it look more like planks I think my black paint is dry and this is too white I'm gonna take some different one I think I'm gonna use this ruler and kind of make for myself few lines here now I'm gonna take this little brush and with that I will try to paint into this and I'm gonna let it dry again there are visible edges of the paper I glued on that book page so I'm gonna kind of make it invisible now I do have here this crackle accent or crackle paint so I'm gonna use the brush and add a little bit of this crackle paint on these edges and now on this crackle accent I'm gonna apply my mix it's kind of like slightly ivory I would say color it's not totally white it's like slightly ivory so that I'm gonna apply on the crackle accent in light cold and I'm gonna let it dry so I do have all dry I do have there here and there crackles but not too much but I did something wrong so now now I'm gonna be using these brown paints I'm gonna add here just a little bit this is a raw sienna a burnt sienna and with these two and with a little bit of black I need to add there just a small amount of water and we're gonna do shading and I'm wiping off a little bit of that color here and there just shadows now I'm gonna make a mix from the black paint and I'm gonna add a little bit of splatters here that I'm gonna let it dry like this once those splatters are dry I'm gonna give few more coats of this bindex always let the coat dry and apply the new one to make the top as much smooth as I can last few coats of this top bindex in the corners I'm gonna add these fasteners they are in the design of screw heads or I think yeah it's a screw head so I'm gonna add these to the corners and add there black paint and then make shadows with all this painting as well to kind of make it look rusty with that bun sienna and raw sienna and this is how the book page cutting plate looks like I'm gonna use another book page to cover this so I'm gonna put another new book page here on the background and then I will sand again the edges to make it looks like it's wooden plate and that is all for today thank you so much for visiting me today thank you so much for spending your time with me I hope you will try this cute little Easter decoration and you will try to create something from your book pages have a beautiful day, take care about yourself and I will see you soon, bye
