So different and beautiful. I got the word hope from pieces of metal for my breast cancer. I can’t wait to make this.

I know I watched this video sometime ago, but memory is slipping. It was fun to watch again. Since I've developed limited movement this type of project gives me something I can do. Thank you

Impressed how well you painted the inside edge! Very steady hand!

This is such a clever idea! My husband is a English teacher. I’m gonna make this to decorate his classroom. Thank you for teaching me something new!

That is so crazy! That book brought back such great memories! Thank you! We used to go to the beach every weekend during the summer at CORONA DEL MAR! I would even play hookie from Robertshaw to go to the beach. I live in Colorado now. It is going to be a high of -2° today! Thank you again, Kelly!

That is SO VERY COOL...WOW!!! 🤯🤯🤯

I really enjoy your videos, but I'd really appreciate it if you showed the finished product FIRST. It's much easier to follow that way, especially with some of the longer and more elaborate instructions. Thank you for taking so much time out of your day and putting so much effort into helping all of us learn how to make these wonderful projects!

Just go to the end of the vid to see the final product, then restart if you like it. That also helps me "get" the process a bit easier.

I make craft videos and others but I had been wondering if I should show the finished project at the beginning. Thanks for answering that question. It takes a bit more planning but it does seem a good idea. 😊

I agree Its easyer when the endproduct photo comes first, but he.....so easy also to click to the end and than begin...

I was clueless to what you were turning these books into! You have such amazing ideas!! I dont have much space for such a large finished project like you did, but I think I could narrow it down to our last name initial and maybe put some florals on the opposite page! Yup...that's what I'm gonna do!! Thanks again Kelly! Hugs! 💖

@Pamela Brand ~~ One way to use just one book would be to do smaller letters so you can fit two on each page???? Or... you could do two rows of letters on the pages. I am just brainstorming here. :)

Dearly love this!!!!

This is really great! I wouldn't have thought of it but now I have plenty of .".

That is so awesome. I’m thinking about making it for our school to raffle off for our band.

super cute project! You got my mind thinking....I'm thinking christmas!

Just beautiful!

So clever and just too stinking cute😘

Wow I love this. I’m going to try it ⛄️❄️☃️❄️

Aw!! Too cute!!!

I just loved the way you get excited to show us what you can create with dollars tree stuff! Thank you 😊 you are very creative ⭐️

Ahhh! What a cute idea! The dollar tree is just filled with gems

I love that you take inexpensive items and create absolutely beautiful pieces! As a teacher, these ideas come in handy when my kids make Mother's Day crafts!!!

Incredible! You find so many interesting techniques for your DYI's. Each one is that which I've never seen before.

This is Beautiful! Love it!!!! ❤️❤️❤️

You explain the details in a way that doesn't assume any particular level of experience in crafting. I'm sure other Newbies are just as grateful as I am that you teach with such kind thoughtfulness . The added computer tricks and your directives in where to find helps along the way is so so appreciated. Indeed your projects are "stinkin cute" and YOU are "stinkin precious!" Thank you sweet friend.

Local library is the best place to buy books. Supports your local library.

I inherited a set of encyclopedia from the 70's so I have 24 perfectly matched books with gold colored page edges. I can have a lot of fun now.

This is definitely an oldie, but a goodie!! I love this and it is definitely customizable for any decor or word.

Kelly, your diy's are so great! I always look forward to watching!

WOW. What a cool idea!!

That is beautiful thank you for sharing

Awesome....absolutely dear

Love this Kelly! Yes, I'm still following you around!

This was ingenious! Thanks for sharing!

This is a fantastic craft! The cost is even better! Most people have books on hand that could be used to make this too. You are so great at what you do. Thank you Kelly for bringing some joy during this difficult year.

Really cute & unique! ❤

This is by far my favorite you have ever done! Thank you so so much!

This would be great open house decor! Done in the graduates school colors, it would look great.

Good morning Kelly. This is so pretty. Thank you for sharing. Have a great day!

Wonderfull 💡 i cant wait to make one. Thanks for the 💡

Going to DT now to buy me some books! HOORAY! SO STINKIN' ADORABLE! LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I really enjoy hanging out with you for these awesome diy's! Farmhouse style isn't my style but I do make some of your creations just for a little mix of something different to incorporate into my home. Thank you again for sharing your inspirations with us! Much love!! xx

Love this idea! Thanks😊❤

This is simply amazing!

So beautiful! Love This. Thanks so much

This is soo stinkin cute

Omg I have to try this!! LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!

I had to stop and make a comment. Your videos and instructions are incredible! Let explain how awesome you are....I have a special needs daughter that graduated last year. There is not a lot for special need adults to do. I am always looking for stuff to keep her busy. First of all, you explain things so clear and simple ( wish you were my college professor!) Second your music is always so soothing which helps when trying to keep the attention and control the speed that a special needs person is dealing with. Third, your cost of the project is so reasonable and whatever is not used can go towards another project. Fourth she loves blessing people with gifts- what you show makes it possible. Fifth, it gives her so much pride. Thank you for your time skill and willingness to share!

Very cool project!!! ❤

Awwwe, isn’t that just adorable, what a lovely idea. I really like that, so nice. 🥰 Thank you Mrs. Kelly 😊

You're amazing. Love the idea

It is so nice! I love it!

Wow!! Awesome!!

Love it. So creative!!

If ever you want other options for books to repurpose you could try a resale shop or a local library book sale. Libraries sell books dirt cheap!

Luv this idea!

Wow, amazing idea

Such a cool project! Could definitely go on my mantel! I might get it done in time for fall...Thanks!

Stinking cute!

I am always looking for ways to repurpose books such as Encyclopedias which are of no longer any use. This is not something I would do, but I am happy that you put forth this project and hope you will have others using books that are no longer of any use.

Very cute idea!

All I can say is WOW! These are so stinkin' cute!!!! Love them!!!

Great video,, fun project

Thanks for the video!!! BEAUTIFUL,,,

That is really cool! Love it!

Awesome and very clever

Very unique - thanks!
