New Class: Altered Book of Drawers

Greetings Everyone! Yes it's time for a new class. For the next two weekends I will be teaching you how to make an Altered Book of Drawers. This is a fun and surprisingly easy type of altered book to create. You can add pages to the front of the book for extra content or just use the entire book as a cabinet of treasures as I did in the book above. The original title of this book was Deadly bugs and Killer insects so I thought it was a perfect book for my Secret Life of Bees theme.

Here is the book with the drawers open.

I will be teaching this class in two locations this month. Here are the details:
