This used to be, a book
Hi friends!!
Here I am with my latest project especially made for lulupu challenge...This used to be!! A BOOK!
Book-birdhouse |
Well some of you may frown as to why did I do this to a book!!
Well actually this is my 15 year old book and I found it out a few days back in the in the huge pile of papers..all dusty ..I quickly picked it up and dusted it...but when I opened up the book...what I saw were holes!!! Yes..moths had eaten up the pages...some of them to the extent that I had to get rid of them!!...so when the bookwas somewhat in manageable condition...
I decided to make a book birdhouse...There are a number if tutorials on the internet you can find out for yourself...
But to make life little easier..I decided to put up one here myself in case you would want to know!!
how to make:
step1: fold the first page of the book in half vertically ...
step2: Now fold the corner of this page into a triangle...
Step 3: turn over to the next page... And fold this page into a triangle from the bottom right corner
Step 4: fold the top part of the page into a triangle overlapping the bottom triangle a little bit
Step 5: now repeat the step1 and 2 for the next page
Step 6: repeat the step 3 and 4 for the next page
Step 7:Keep on alternating between step 5 and step 6
Step 8: glue the pages
Book-Birdhouse |
Note:
- A 200 page book is enough to give you a flat birdhouse
- If you wish you can use 2 flat birdhouses and attach them back to back to give a circular birdhouse...The above tutorial gives a bird house like mine with slanting slopes..
Hope this tutorial helps!!
