I love books and I love crafts – how have I not combined the two and made creative crafts with old books?!
I’m fixing that with today’s post!
We probably all have old books that we know we won’t read again, but can’t bear to get rid of. Maybe they’re sentimental keepsakes?
I think a worthy way to honour these old books is to make decor crafts so we can enjoy them even more!
Sometimes I’ve spotted some great old books with beautiful covers at thrift stores – a great next life for them would be for creative crafting!
I’ve found for you some unique and creative crafts with old books to inspire….
