    Watching you do this makes me think about a stack of three ring binders and how pretty those would look on a shelf! I have certain nursing school books I have kept for reference and they are usually out of sight but now I might have to bring them out!

      @@IronOrchidDesigns - Yes it worked perfect. I may need to switch to this, been keeping mine in scrapbooking paper containers.
      I like that the envelopes are easy to hang.

      You know it! Carmen has done it all! I believe she had a tutorial for that on her channel: ua-cam.com/channels/xGAuvxfA6GKAq9QEn7OITA.html
      If not, ask her and she'll surely do one for you. :)

    Hi from the UK - I think the finished books look beautiful but I am uneasy about destroying book covers. Why not use empty box files to get the same effect - then they can also be used for pretty and practical document storage?? Thanks.

    • @IronOrchidDesigns
      @IronOrchidDesigns  3 роки тому +2

      That's a great idea! You could also cover the books with paper and then rub the transfer on the paper, if you wanted to preserve the book cover. :)

    Did you top coat before the transfer?

    • @IronOrchidDesigns
      @IronOrchidDesigns  3 роки тому

      Yes! Definitely add a quick top coat before applying the transfer because the old books can be a little flakey and unpredictable. Wouldn't want the paint to pull up with the transfer on it. :)

    Q: The book that is used to brace the other books has a fork on it… Is that a transfer? If so, where did that come from? 🤗

    • @IronOrchidDesigns
      @IronOrchidDesigns  3 роки тому

      Not a transfer, but if we had to guess, it's probably a decoupage paper. You message Carmen on her Facebook page directly , she'll definitely let you know where/how she got it. 😆 facebook.com/CarmensCuriosityShop
