12 Awesome Book Page Projects

By Manuela Williams

Beautiful Book Page Upcycle DIYs.

Do you love repurposing old things into something new and pretty? The fact that book pages are paper makes them easy to use in a variety of projects, and the text on the pages adds an extra level of visual interest not found in normal solid-color paper. Also, book page upcycles are incredibly inexpensive ways to spruce up your décor. These 12 Awesome Book Page Projects are definitely decorating on a dime!

Of course, there’s no need to tear up a good book to make these projects! Instead, you can go to garage sales, thrift stores, library book sales, and Goodwill to find some beaten-up/damaged old books. Not only will you have a large variety of books to choose from (large text, small text, illustrations, etc.), but you can get them at great prices!

12 Awesome Book Page Projects

I’m pretty excited about these book page projects because they are so amazing. They turn out beautiful, and it’s a great way to use an old book instead of throwing it out. Take a look at these tips:

  • Find books at thrift stores, yard sales, or even your attic. You’ll be amazed by how many gorgeous old books you can find and use. They don’t have to cost a lot of money either!
  • You’ll need good quality scissors. While each craft has its own directions, most of them will require you to use scissors. It’s a good idea to have a good quality pair for the best results.
  • Glue, staples, and rubber bands are a few items to use for attaching the pages. It’s always good to have these items on hand when crafting. They will come in handy when you need to affix the pages to different materials.
