Of course, this project would only make sense to me if I already had the raw materials required to complete it. It’s just a brick, after all, though in some instances, gorgeously transformed.Īlas, I decided mine needn’t be gorgeous, hip or inspired for my final nursery project. I’d settle for fun. I’m not sure how much Light Reading charges for its bricks (before shipping) but I doubt any price would entice me to buy something I could make myself. The quality and defects of the brick clearly help shape the end result in the most successful pieces.īut you still always know that they’re bricks somehow. Some of the Light Reading creations look more realistic than others.Īnd some are decidedly more artistic and inspired in their design: proper works of art. The Melbourne-based company, Light Reading, produces brick books with the use of stencils (it seems). One Australian guy seems to have made a successful business out of producing brick bookends. As the script and detail improve, so does the illusion… The simplest transformations involve hand-written text and hand-drawn lines, and the bricks are obviously not real books.
Each project has its charm, though the bricks are transformed into books with varying degrees of realism and flair.
NURSERY BOOKENDS HOW TO
You can watch a video on how to make brick bookends here and below are a few photos of different projects I found online. Like other craft projects, this one wasn’t original. My due date was two days ago, but I’m not complaining since I only just finished my final nursery craft project yesterday: a pair of bookends made from bricks.
