Free Article Download: Metal-Stamped Library Book Bangles by Sarah A. Donawerth
“The inspiration for these bangles came from a tote bag I found online that said ‘I still believe in 398.2.’ This number is the Dewey Decimal system call number for fairy tales. It seemed like a coded message — a way of announcing to the world that I still love a happy ending and that everything can be solved with a fairy godmother or a mermaid … To capture my love of reading, I created these bangles with the call numbers of fairy tales and Jane Austen. Jane Austen has always held a special place in my heart ever since I read ‘Pride and Prejudice’ in high school. These bangles are a constant reminder of what I love about literature — clever writing and a happily ever after.”
Create your own metal-stamped library book bangles using the Dewey Decimal call number for your favorite books. Whether you prefer Jane Austen or Mark Twain, these delicate bangle bracelets celebrate books and are a quick and easy gift for the bookworms in your life.
