I see them! I can't tell if they're black and white or not...anyway...they look way cute! It's amazing how just a few embellishments can spruce up something plain and simple. Well done!

Peace

Nice job! They came out great! What kind of glue did you use when covering them?

Live laugh LOVE,

The little bks were the basic blk/striped cover so I covered them with my own paper and used coordinating embellisments. and ribbons. In the center of the flowers are buttons. I guess I should have made the picture larger to do them justice.

I just used plain crafter's glue stick.

They're so ez to do and make great stocking stuffers or little gifts for the holidays. I always keep one in my car.

thanks for taking the time to comment. appreciate it.

You can use Zip dry paper glue on these also. Very durable, won't come apart later. It is a liquid glue that does not wrinkle the paper and dries very quickly.

What a great idea for back-to-school or (here before we know it!) stocking stuffers.

I found the kitty clip art when I was searching for a business logo. Oddly enough, we adopted a cat who looks *just like it* about six months later.

Lily the Cat is now a spokesmodel!
