I am obsessed with recycling books. If it's a book I love, and read over and over again, I rebind it where possible. But so many books are published each year, and easily half of them are just pure trash. When I find these in used bookstores, I snap them up to use the hardcovers for altered journals, but am left looking for a use for the tons of leftover pages. You can only make so many paper flowers!

This books take you all the way from basic folding to using power tools to shape massive stacks of pages. Hundreds of illustrations and step by step instructions make this a much more useful book than most in this category. You can learn to make houses, sculptures, picture frames, boxes, jewelry, papier mache and so much more. I highly recommend it! ( )

So fun. A library read, but may have to go get my own copy. ( )

Cannot wait to try some of these. Gorgeous and fun and reminding me of the window displays at Curtis Steiner. ( )

Very interesting projects to make with books or sheet music. Some are realistic for me to be interested in making, while others are more fanciful -- cool to see, but I'd never make them. A good source for finding craft projects for Adults/Teens using discarded books. ( )

Several good ideas, particularly how to make totes out of pages of books laminated with a clear vinyl and stitched like cloth. ( )
