YA Book Cover Table
I'm in love with Mod Podge, so when we were looking for ways to add some flair to the reading space for our devoted "library kids," we decided to take an old table and transform it into a YA Lit. table. First, we printed out covers from some recent and best-loved YA books. We printed a variety of sizes. We then brushed Mod Podge (which works like glue) onto the back of each one, placing the "covers" randomly on the table. We put the largest covers down first and the smallest ones last. Once all the covers were down, with very little actual table top showing through, we brushed Mod Podge over the entire table top. We did 3 coats of Mod Podge, waiting 30 minutes between each coat. Afterwards, we sprayed the entire thing with Mod Podge brand clear acrylic sealer. I suggest doing that step outside... the smell is rather over-whelming. Voila! We were done! Here are some pics of the process...

ReplyDeleteレイバン サングラスは、韓国でも大人気らしい。この間、あの激売れバンドBIGBANGの取材に行ったら、BIGBANGのメンバー全員がRay Ban サングラスを着用していた。レイバン RB2140を着用してるGDさんがあまりにもかっこよすぎて、目合わせなくなってしまった。
