I transformed a 1960s gilded book into stunning botanical wall art! Using vintage prints, a glue stick (no Mod Podge bubbles!), and a thrifted velvet frame, this upcycle is elegant and easy. Perfect for adding vintage charm to any room.

Materials Used:

1960s Gilded Book

Botanical Prints

Elmer's Craft Bond Glue Stick

Thrifted Frame & Green Velvet

Hot Glue & Staples

Key Tip: Use a glue stick on uneven surfaces to prevent bubbling!
