Thanks to Claire for helping me out! Also I have to tell you guys that the kids loved this activity. They've been spotting letters everywhere we go, definitely an activity worth doing with your own peeps. :)
The kids really loved doing this and now when we go places they are constantly spotting letters around us. I was thinking that I would print the pictures out and make a alphabet board book with them... but I have this massive list of craft projects I keep meaning to do so it has to take a number.
The problem with Anthropologie is that they cost way too much money. WAY TOO MUCH! I mean, come on--these book boxes: source: Anthropologie Cost $68-$188! Do you have that kind of money? I don't, but you know what I do have? I have a library with a cart full of free books that no one really cares about! So guess what I did... I made my own (and then I gave them away because I really don't have anywhere to put them). Here's how. What do you think?
This was my week two craft for So You Think You're Crafty. I placed third that week for this one. I thought you might enjoy finding out how I made it.

There are several different ways to make ring tubes that you can find online. One I saw used that colored foam paper stuff that you find in the kids craft section.

Use your words, my dear sweet soul, they are inside of you... So find them. Write, you silly girl, write so hard the world will never forget you. But does it matter if the world remembers you? Age begins to press its hands upon your chest and the need to be remembered seems to increase with the pressure. Stop. That's not a line of thought you're interested in pursuing. Live in the now. Does it matter if the world remembers you if your neighbor is going hungry? Perhaps age is merely pushing you out the door. Go. Live in the now.
