Web Wednesday: Mod-Podge Book Collage
It is never too early to get your kids
interested in reading. This is documented nicely in a recent blog post I
stumbled upon on the blog, Raising Bean. Mar, a Mom to a newborn baby, created
this adorable book collage using Dr. Seuss books and Mod Podge. She happened to
have two copies of the same Dr. Seuss book, and decided to use the pages from
one to create this collage for her daughter. This book collage was used as
decoration inside the walls of her little ones crib. Not only is this project
so cute, it is easy to make. What is your favorite Dr. Seuss book? Mine was
Green Eggs and Ham. To see how Mar made this simple project click here.
