  • ' simple step-by-step projects to make a huge variety of creative book art projects. In the first chapter, Folding Books, get folding and make a beautiful bird, a sailor’s knot, and a shining star, they look impressive but are deceptively simple to make. In Chapter 2, Making Scenes, you will learn how to cut and glue splendid scenes such as tiny paper mushrooms and ferns under a glass bell jar, a fairytale castle, and a tiger in the jungle, all of which would make great gifts, or just keep and display them all yourself! Chapter 3, Refashioned Pages, has ideas for transforming the pages cut from books—make greeting cards, a botanical print lampshade, and hanging birds. All the projects have helpful step-by-step instructions and illustrations so all you need are a few old books and you are ready to start!

Unique and creative

Beautiful book with many lovely projects. I love art made from books (duh--check out my "handle"!) and this book has such a variety of art made from individual pages (the feathers! oh, the feathers!!) and entire books (honeycomb!). It's wonderful to leaf through and dream about what to attempt next.

Pretty art and creative crafts made with books, their pages and covers

One of my favorite recycled materials to make art and craft with are recycled books and this book features 35 great projects to make with them. The first section features patterns and tutorials for making images with all the pages of the book folded. The book also contains lots of fun projects like toy elephants and shaggy dogs along with pretty flowers and even paper lampshades. If you love working with the inner printed pages of type along with the covers of books I bet you will love this book as much as I do! All patterns and templates are included in the back of the book.

Nice ideas to look forwards to. A lot of the projects are a little beyond my ability at this time but now I have something to work towards.

Worth every penny!

Loved this book and so much info. I am anxious to start digging in to my first project. I have the book Tea with Hezbollah and plan to make the tea cup with curious mice as a gift for a friend.
