30 til 30: Gold!

Guys, I'm SO behind with my 30 crafts in 30 days before 30 years. I hope this isn't a premonition of this upcoming decade. Yikes! But today's is SUPER easy. I mean, SUPER. Just get some gold spray paint, masking tape, and some kraft paper notebooks and you're golden (te he, sorry, punny.) I picked these notebooks up in Berlin at a store I like to call "heaven" but it's really called Modular. It's a supplies store with anything your heart desires and Germany prices are SO amazing. Anything is compared to Denmark though.

1. Just cover the parts your want protected with masking tape. I didn't have any at the moment so I used some cheap stuff that comes off easily. 

2. Give it a little spray from about 18" away. It doesn't need too much.
3. The best part is definitely the ripping off moment. Look how nice that line looks.
Voila! Now I have a few notebooks for my new studio space. Thanks to Line for helping me with the photos.

Countdown:
20 days and 26 more projects.

PS- don't forget to enter the illustration giveaway! Last day is today!

Modulor is the best store in the WORLD. When I studied in Berlin in 2009, it was just down from our apartment. So not only did I get to go as often as I wanted and get the most spectacular quality stuff (compared to the US), but it has all lasted me SO LONG. <3 This project!

This is such an amazing idea! I love it. I'm sure to think of you next time in modulor *hihi*. Well and if you need anything, just email me and I'll tell you the next scheduled visit!
Now I want to make golden notepads and have to sit at our new website :(.
Have a great evening! Numbers are on their way. Yours, Thea
