Hello, DIYers!

Do you love crafting AND books?! It’s not an uncommon connection! Both crafting and reading activate your imagination and creativity! Today, we are discussing some of the ways that you can pair the two together by crafting with books! Whether you choose to use the pages, the spine, or the entire thing, there are plenty of ways that you can upcycle old books!

I know what you’re thinking… ripping up books can be concerning, for sure! Typically when I craft with books, I will stop by a local used book store that has sorted out which donations they will put on the shelf, which they will re-donate to the library, and a separate pile that are too beat up and possibly have missing pages or fully broken spines and will just be trashed. If you have a place similar, you might consider trying to see if they might hold some beat up books for you! Other times, when I can’t handle the idea of ripping up one of my beloved texts, I will go to a thrift store and find a book that looks like it will suit my needs. That might include the size of the book, how sturdy the structure of it is, or how oxidized that the pages might be! Either way, there are more options than just hacking away at your own collection!

We hope that you will enjoy this time spent engaging with two of your favorite activities! Happy crafting!
