  1. Journal
    • Remove the covers from an old book, stack blank sheets between the front and back cover and bind them together for an authentically literary journal.
  2. Purse
    • Cut the covers off a vintage book and find a literary print that matches to make this smart fashion accessory.
  3. Wrist Cuffs
    • Join the spine of an old book with soft leather and you've got yourself a bookish bracelet.
  4. Wreath
    • For a beautiful door decoration that can be displayed all year, use some book pages to turn into a wreath.
  5. Roses
    • With some careful cutting, you can turn beautiful old pages into literary roses. Cut out spirals, fold, and glue, and you have a bouquet of Words.
  6. Envelopes
    • Whether you're looking for unique wedding stationary or just enjoy sending letters, fold your envelopes out of old book pages for a literary twist on the mail.
  7. Picture Frame
    • Frame your memories with a gorgeous old book cover.
  8. Headboard
    • Glue old books on a piece of wood and mount it at the head of your bed. If you're lucky, the adventures on the pages will end up in your dreams.
  9. Shelves
    • Books don't only sit on shelves; they can be used as shelves too. Bust out the hardware to make a new place for storage.
  10. Lampshade
    • The familiar black text on off-white pages never gets old. Turn some old pages into a literary lampshade for an illuminating object.
  11. Clock
    • This one sounds tricky, but it's not. With an affordable clock kit and a book cover, you can have a brand new wall piece.
  12. Fabric
    • Turn old pages into multi-use material by coating your favorite pages in silicone. Get creative with the resulting material.
  13. Vase
    • With some clever cutting and gluing, a book can become a vase-shaped accent.
  14. Art
    • Books are art in themselves, but paintings done on old book pages are beautiful in wooden frames.
  15. Storage
    • Cut out the pages and use the covers for storage. Perfect for a hidden space.
  16. Origami
    • Origami is beautiful as it is, but folding a crane out of old book pages adds an extra element.
  17. Wallpaper
    • If there's a story you love so much you want it around you, paste the pages on the wall. It creates a delicate but striking effect in any room.
  18. Necklace
    • Keep your favorite Words close to your heart. Cut out a pendant of your favorite Words and fasten it to a chain.
  19. E-Reader Case
    • Even if you've made the switch to e-readers, don't give up to pleasure of holding a book in your hand. Find an old book around the size of your e-reader, cut out enough pages so that it can fit comfortably between the covers, and glue some elastic to hold your e-reader in.
