Looking for fun things to do with old books? Look no further! Inspired by their Books & Crafts weekly web show, Angie Lucas and Wendy Smedley teamed up with three crafty contributors to bring you an eBook jam-packed with book crafting ideas—one of today's hottest trends.
You'll enjoy 38 brilliant crafts with old books (from pencil boxes and picture frames to canvas art and book journals), plus direct links to four Books & Crafts videos that explore four of the book craft ideas in depth.
On top of that, you'll also get 5 fabulous layout ideas about books and reading, plus 76 pages of List It! for Book Lovers printable journaling cards! The List It! section includes lists, quizzes, and reading log pages that you can print directly in either a scalloped or square shape, in either black or brown. And if you want to customize them further, your purchase includes the associated PNG files as well!
MY OPINION: There was so much great inspiration in this e-book. I am constantly finding great old books -- one of our favorite places, as I've mentioned before, is McKay's Used Books in Nashville. I'm always having to convince myself not to bring home more books since we already have more than we can store, but these projects have given me so many ideas. I really loved the variety of projects, particularly the vintage desk set (see below) and the repurposed notebooks.
I've been working on a reading journal for a while, and the List It! topics in this e-book are great prompts to include in my journal. (You can find my original post here, with a follow-up post here and a freebie to download here.) In fact, I used one of the prompts as a starting point for this layout, about one of the books that impacted my love for reading when I was in elementary school.
