Altered bookends!

Hi everyone! Julie here with you today and I wanted to share some bookends that I altered!

 

I found these a few weeks ago at a consignment store…

Yes — these are hand carved little guys on here — and I am sure that someone made them with some amazing craftsmanship– but to be honest — they kinda creeped me out! lol!! Sooooo off they came!!

Once they were off — I spray painted the base pieces off white — then added Kraft paper to the base — and then added some mists on top of the paper and spray paint — I also took these ordinary rocks and painted them bronze to go with my theme —

And here is what I made with my book ends —

I used Helmar's 450 Quick Dry glue to adhere everything down! I love that glue!!
