| Class 14 Scrapbook Carpentry |
| From Your Husband's Shop to Your Scrapbook
Page! |
 |
I have always admired the beautiful work
my husband does as a finish carpenter. His specialty is
an entire room: study, library, media room, or trophy
room. Most of the rooms have a gorgeous wainscot made
of specialty woods such as walnut, cherry, curly maple
or painted to match the decorator chosen wallpaper. I
thought it might be fun to take the wainscot design and
make a scrap page using Anna Griffin's wallpaper patterned
decorative paper and use a coordinating solid paper for
the 'painted' wainscot. You have to give this a try. Surprise
the guy in your life with your new structural ability.
We can be carpenters too! |
Terminology: |

Cap: Ledge on the top rail to finish off the wainscot

Ink edges of all but the panel pieces to give depth.
Glue the panel across the bottom
of your paper. About 1/4" up from the bottom. Add
stiles and rails on top of the panel . Glue baseboard
across bottom of your paper. Add a cap to the top of
the baseboard, and one on the top of the wainscot. Hang
a few pictures on the wall, or put pictures or journaling
inside of the panels.
These same techniques can be used
make doors, windows and crown
molding. This tutorial is just a stepping stone. With
your imagination, you can create special walls of memories.
