I just made two today, and started 2 more. What fun this is... The only problem I had was finding the right color of material to go with the cover of the books! Ha.... One was limegreen and white readers digest...I found 2 cloth napkins that had a limegreen and navy stripe around the edges so I used this for the green book. I used old macramae brass rings, the 3 inch ones , for the handles. The other one has deep country red and taupe material, checked and complementary floral for the sides and inside. It was fun. I used a glue gun as my sewing machine is not working.
