I thought I'd pull together several ideas from some amazing bloggers and crafts-people using recycled book pages. I've used photos from other blogs so be sure to check out their sites and see their other amazing art. Since I work in a library I am always surrounded by books. We also always have discarded books for sale and sometimes very old books that people have donated that just aren't in good enough condition to put out for sale. I've been collecting some of these old books to give them a new life. For pennies, you can make some of these wonderful projects too!
Alisa Burke has some wonderful ideas here using old book pages as wrapping paper and adornments.
