Altering a Children's Board Book

Early on when I became enamored with the concept of an altered book,  I wanted to create a gift for a little boy. I'd never worked with a board book before, but I figured it out as I went along. I'd also never made a video before, but I decided to try my hand at creating a home video showing how this altered book went together.

The video has much room for improvement, and the altered board book is not a work of art. However, it was a big hit with the young guy who received it for his birthday.

I put the video online in the hopes that it would encourage other people to start experimenting. You really can't do anything wrong because there is no right and wrong when it comes to altered book making. Just get a book and some supplies and go for it.


My altered book has a St.Patrick's Day theme.
