Thank you Maureen for loving these lilac glass Scottie bookends and bringing back this post, I love this pair of pups & keep them on display in our shadowbox credenza where they always reflect the light Thank you MrsT for the kind compliment and love, really glad you enjoyed my Scottie pair Glad you enjoyed these dog bookends Sean & the love is much appreciated And it's true, I had to interject an appropriate book for them to be holding up, totally grateful for the wonderful praise & noticing my little props here! You are right they are a fierce protective breed, you hardly ever see one that is not yipping away lol. Yes Eileen I do remember the Monopoly scottie, it was a fave family board game. Right Karen, these bookends tick all the right boxes, esp purple glass (my fave color) and cute dogs! The bookends were a nice bonus, I found a couple more by Blenko of a different animal that will show another time. Thank you Lauren for the wonderful compliments, these terriers are very cute and playful dogs and the ones you saw as a child with the tartan coats sound so adorable, what a super memory to have :) Scott I am so happy to be able to show you unique Scottie glass bookends, and I'm so happy you liked them! Many thanks my friend for the kind words My first brush with these little dogs was when I was a child and was visiting Dublin and in a rather posh part of the city seen a girl a little older than myself and she has a pair of these jet black little dogs on two leads complete with two matching tartan coats on them- and of course I thought it was the most dearest thing I'd ever seen back then! :P These are lovely little dogs, they look so playful and mischievous- I particularly love the rearing up pose- it adds to their playfulness! Now, if only I can find a plastic cat.These Scotties are great!! I've seen bronze, brass and cast iron, but these are the first glass Scottie bookends I've ever seen. We found that the frames are pretty light and adding the puffy paint helps to create a little bit of friction and keeps them from sliding. Plus, the paper kind of helps to camouflage any messy gluing.ģ) Add embellishments - I had some cute letter stickers and used them to spell the kids' names.Ĥ) Add a few drops of puffy paint on the bottom of the frame, the side that it sits on, and let it dry. Obviously, this is optional, but it helps the books to stand up a little better.Ģ) Insert a piece of scrapbook paper into the frame for a cute background. Then, we worked the bottom little by little until the frame sat more straight up, closer to a 90 degree angle. To help them behave more like bookends, we slowly and CAREFULLY held them over the stove flame until the plastic became warm and slightly pliable. You could stop there or take it a few steps further, like we did.ġ) The frames lean inward at a slight angle. hot glue gun, super glue, or some other kind of sturdy glueġ) Cut the toy animal or car in half with the hacksaw.Ģ) Glue each side of the animal to a frame. 2 acrylic frames 5"x7" ($1 at The Dollar Store) 1 plastic animal or car ($1 at The Dollar Store)
