Okay. Confession. I have a move coming up. For every 2 episodes of moving motivation I watch (aka Hoarders), I pack one box. It's a slow and ineffective process, and truth be told, it's not great for my creative spirit. Good thing I have a crafty friend to pull my slack! Remember my friend Jessica, the gorgeous bride who was the inspiration behind the wedding series? She made this amazing Nook Book to hold her e-reader.
Jessica said she started with an old book and used a sharp blade to gut the book of its pages. She glued felt to the inside covers. She measured her Nook and glued elastic to the corners to hold the Nook in place. Then she glued another piece of felt to cover the glued edges. (Don't mind the ziplock holding some of my finest BFF "mix tape" cds underneath her Nook!)
Jessica said her one regret is not chooising a skinnier book-- so be sure to look for a book that is a similar width as your e-reader!

that's a really clever Idea.
ReplyDeleteOh I love that!! I don't even have an e-reader... but I'm sure my mom needs one for hers :) Too bad I'm in a similar predicament to yours and not a whole lot of crafting is happening at my house. Oh well. Happy moving!

Oh. my. goodness...this is too cool! Thanks for sharing!!!
ReplyDeleteIn theory I'd love to do this, but honestly it just actually, physically pains me to rip up a book like that, even a book that I wouldn't read.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this. I might try it with a book that is falling apart anyway.
ReplyDeleteI made one in less than 30 minutes. Works perfect and even stands up to watch netflix. THANK YOU!
ReplyDeleteLooks Great!!! Happy new year.
