DIY Arrow Bookends

Materials:

Four scraps of wood – from any home improvements store
Sanded smooth
Drill + small screws
Wood glue
Small dowel
Feathers – from a craft supply store
Colored tape
Silver clay – from any craft store

First things first: the construction of your bookends. Use wood glue or small drill with screws to stack the taller piece of wood on top of the small piece.

Sculpt your arrowhead with the silver clay. Cut a small piece of your dowel before sculpting the clay directly onto one end… To harden the clay you can bake the wood in the oven.

Now, arrange your colored feathers to the end of the arrow. Attach the feathers to a thin piece of mask tape to the end of the dowel. Then cover this with a beautiful washi tape.

To the final step, connect the two arrow pieces to the wood bookends. Make sure the drill bit is a tiny bit wider than the edge of the arrow. Now slide each piece into the holes you made & now use the wood glue to attach them for good.

DIY Cute Bookend — Source: One Good Thing By Jillee

Required material:

8 tall paper mache letters
Sand to weight the letters
Xacto craft knife
Glue gun
Colorful scrapbook paper
Mod Podge
Brush

How to make Letter Bookend?

First, use the Xacto knife to cut the front side of your letter. Remove it, then take out the inside filler material.
Next, you’ll need to seal the holes and make sure there aren’t any gaps using your glue gun.
At this point after sealing any possible holes, start pouring your sand into the two letters.
Now it’s time to glue the front of the letters back into place, carefully though. You don’t need it to leak
It’s almost done now, cover your letters with the colorful paper you chose.
HINT: cover the side surfaces, top, and bottom before the front & back; covering them last would cover the edges, flaps, and mishaps and it’ll look more professional!

This part is optional but sure will do a big deal to the final look of your bookends. Using the brush, give your letters a quick coat of Mod Podge to guarantee a glossy finish.
Now let your new bookshelf decoration dry for an hour & let me see your final results!
