Altered Beer Mats

[craftycuthbert]

my first attempt at making an altered beer mat book... rather basic girls but wanted some feed back... sorry photos not too great.. these are the only two pages done so far as did not want to continue if it looked completely horrid... the photos will never look horrid mind they are of my dd drew...

come on girls... tell me the truth.. should i carry on with this or scrap it completely??

be honest now!!

thanx in advance

Keep going Heather - they're great! I like the patterned paper, and how you've connected the mats with a book ring. :)

I agree...Looks great. I was given a pile of beer mats from a friend, who has a friend who manages a pub....Will have to give it a try as it looks so good.

Looks good to me. Am just doing some as well. They are oval and am doing views of Bremen which is where I´m living at the moment. Will join mine with a keyring as well

Right girls, send the OH down the pub for a quick pint, ;)

I dont think they will mind, the OHs , not the pub!

It looks great Heather - another idea for me to try out!

[scrapjax]

They're lovely!! We're off out on Saturday night, so guess what I'll be pinching from the pubs!!

It could be the new excuse - run out of beer mats to alter so we have to go to the pub.....

[craftycuthbert]

Now that is one I really must remember!!

Very nice Heather !! Glad you're carrying on with it too - a real inspiration to us all. When you say ' for stripping', are you peeling the top and bottom layers off ? I wouldn't have bothered with this ---- wouldn't it end up lumpy ?

[craftycuthbert]

I actually prefer to "strip" them... very theraputic.. lol... .no no lumps with it ... just prefer them bare as some of them have really dark paper/patterns so nicer finish if they are stripped.. each to their own mind.. just a "thing" of mine.. annoy the life out of everyone in the pub when i do this.. lol... sad i know!!

[hollybo]

now i dont do pubs so is there anyone who wants to collect some for me, good excuse for a visit!

[craftycuthbert]

Now I am sure I could manage to get you a few steph.. no problem.. not that I am a frequent pub visitor!!

[scrapjax]

I could possibly force myself to go pub for you steph and pick up a few ;)
