Because doesn’t every grownup need a llama or polar bear bookend? I’m pretty sure they do. Let the glue set and put your bookends to good use! I love these guys - we have a pair in the baby’s room and another pair on our grownup bookcase. Be sure to compare the two sides of the bookends so that the animals are aligned with each other. Once the sealer is set and the animals are dry, use the E6000 to affix the animals to your bookends. Let everything dry thoroughly and add another coat all around! Note: If you’re using a larger animal that you’d like to cut in half, like the polar bear, cut the animal in half vertically using the saw before you paint. While that’s drying, add a coat of white paint to your animals. Screw through the bottom piece and up into the top so that the screws are hidden when the bookends are upright.Īpply your wood sealer to the blocks according to the directions on your packaging. Arrange them perpendicular to each other, with the upper piece resting on top of the bottom piece. If you don’t have a saw, have them make cuts for you at your local hardware store! Once you have your wood blocks, give them a good sanding to make sure they’re nice and smooth. Measure them to your liking they’ll be around 4 or 5 inches wide and deep, depending on the animals you choose. You’ll need two blocks of wood for each side of the bookends (we used two so the bookends would be a little heavier and keep the books upright).
