Leonardtown Library

Meeting Room 1

Sprayed and decorated book edges have quickly come back into fashion for readers this year. New books are sporting everything from swirls to dragons to roses and much more.

Using basic acrylic paint and stencils, we will add some flare to some book edges and "Color Our World" through books. Participants should bring a personal book of their choosing to use. We recommend bringing one that you are okay with messing up just incase it doesn't end up being perfect on your first endeavor into this new way of decorating your personal library.
