World Book Day is just around the corner and there’s plenty of ways to join in. Be it dressing up, having a reread of your favourite book or getting crafty or creative, there’s plenty to do!
With this in mind the team at Viking have kindly gifted me a selection of craft items to get creative this World Book Day! There’s a great selection, including card, ink, an always handy Sharpie, letter stamps, a frame and plenty of other bits.
They asked for me to get crafty and create something using my favourite book and the items they provided for World Book Day and that’s exactly what I did with my copy of Peter Pan and Wendy.
I had a look through the Book Art book and on Pinterest for ideas and decided I liked the prints that used the book pages in the background and had a known quote in bold print over them. There are some great ideas in the book but regular readers will know I'm all about easy and simple crafts that anyone can try, so I decided on this over the more complex crafts.
Using my copy of Peter Pan, I made copies of my favourite pages on my printer. I then copied them again on to the cream card to make an A4 page and made a mount using the green card.
I then sketched out ‘Think Happy Thoughts’ and went over it in Sharpie and used the stamps and ink pads to add the ‘Peter Pan & Wendy’.
Once the ink had dried I popped it in the frame. A little crafty tribute to my favourite book on World Book Day.
To celebrate World Book Day, Viking are giving you the chance to win a selection of craft items similar to those gifted to me. To enter share your favourite children’s book below.
