Old Books

By Chance in Knoxville, TN.

I just love painting old books and bringing a new life into them. I used Dixie Belle Paint Products as well as General Finishes products. I first started out making moulds with resin using my IOD Moulds. I glued them on the old books and let dry, I then applied the paint and added General Finishes High Performance Topcoat in Flat. I let that dry then added General Finishes Pitch Black Glaze and used Baby Wipes to wipe off excess glaze. Once I got my desired look I let the glaze dry and then applied another coat of General Finishes High Performance Topcoat in Flat. This is a cheap and easy way to decorate around your home. The possibilities are endless!!
