7 Pretty Ways to Re-Use Vintage Books

I adore crafting and decorating with vintage books.  Vintage Book pages are probably my all-time favorite crafting medium.  


Here is a collection of seven projects made from vintage book pages from around the web:


This darling apple from Cheeky Magpie  would be a perfect edition to a fall mantel.



This garland was a Valentine's project, but it is totally adaptable to other holidays.


Etsy seller BookBW,  makes these beautiful folded book page ornaments.  I love how they are displayed on vintage candlesticks.


Joan, at Anything Goes Here, used almost an entire paperback to create this lovely wreath.


This garland was inspired by spring flowers, but again, the idea can be adapted to any season.  How about creating a similar garland of fall mums?


This bedroom wall is to. die. for.  LOVE.  Find the tutorial at A Well Dressed Home.


This rolled book page star looks great on a Christmas mantel.  


So, how about you? Do you love creating new things from old?

P.S.  I know I've been absent for a while.  Our family just needed a little time to grieve and re-adjust.  We're doing well. Thank you all for your kind words.  Lots has happened since my last post that I can't wait to share.
