    How much fun and you make it look so easy. As a bookworm it seems an alien concept to fold and or cut a book BUT there are so many unused books out there. If someone gave me one as a gift I would be thrilled. SO many ideas are now flowing (daughter has already started hiding her book collection)

    • @AlisonRussellsCrochetChannel
      @AlisonRussellsCrochetChannel  6 років тому

      I get mine given to me for free or I buy from charity shops books that have millions of print runs like harry potter etc one or two wont make a dent in it, most books unsold go to the land fill so in a way its saving the planet a bit.

    This is a lovely project. I am going to try to make this. I just made an easy Xmas tree, a little more difficult book angel and now this. I am hoping it turns out lovely enough to give away. If not, I'm going to end up with a lot of unreadable but folded up books. Happy folding.

    • @AlisonRussellsCrochetChannel
      @AlisonRussellsCrochetChannel  5 років тому

      You can make some pocket money and sell them when you have made you book art projects. Try charity shops for cheap books and ask your family and friends for any unwanted books they might have.

    Allison I made your carousel about a year ago & put in my local consignment craft shop...the owner has told me several times how many positive comments she gets about it. I've also made the doll...neither has sold but that's OK, the good feedback is just as upbuilding as a sale. I love all your videos & plan to do more of your inspiring pieces! The teapot & cup are next I think. Thank you for your very well-made tutorials! (P.S. would love to show you pics but not sure I can here)
