You can give a vintage book new life by making crafts with the book pages. I have made 18 book page crafts (so far) to show you here. Each one is unique and creative.
Here are just a few things I like to do with book pages:
Happy Monday everyone. I hope you had a wonderful weekend. I most certainly did. I had visits to the pool, a date with my Hubby, and painting some “new” thrifted pieces of furniture. I can’t wait to show you what I have been up to. BUT, today I have a Book Page Crafts Board just for you. It is filled with book page crafts chosen just for you AND made by me.
I started making book page crafts years ago. I have always felt that making a book page craft gives a worn and torn book new life.
DIY Book Page Magnetic Board?? Really?? We all know I am obsessed with book pages, right?? If, you didn’t know, you will soon find out.
I can not resist a book page idea or craft. I have been looking at my magnetic board wondering how I could change it up. It’s nice and all, but I wanted something a little more to fit with my other decor.
Then it hit me!! Use book pages!!
Here is my lovely magnetic board before. She has been natural, red, gray, and now hint of olive green.
I thought about using mod podge on her. But my book pages are 40 yrs old and very thin. I was worried about them tearing and wrinkling up. AND, I didn’t know how well the magnets would work through the mod podge.
So I used the next best thing!!
Packing tape!! I used small, rolled pieces of tape to adhere the back of the book pages to the magnetic board.
Using an old dictionary that I used here and here; I placed my pages staggered, so they wouldn’t look “perfectly” lined up.
I also liked using different sections from the dictionary. So the whole board would have variety.
Not too shabby, huh?? The pages are thin enough that my magnets will still hold cards, pictures and wedding announcements. I am really pleased with how it looks. Book pages always make me happy and a little obsessed!!
Thanks for stopping by and following me!! I love having you here with me along the way.

If you haven’t been able to tell already, I like garlands. Mostly paper garlands because as you know I have an obsession with book pages. I thought you would like a little detail on how I made this coffee filter and book page garland. It hangs over our bed.
My friend, Dawn saw it the other day and said it reminds her of shells and starfish. I love that idea!!
I made the twine long enough so I could hang it anywhere.
Here is a close up of what my coffee filter and book page garland looks like.
I started out by making my book pages just as I did with my Book Page Garland. Super easy. And cute anywhere!
I shared How to Dye Coffee Filters with Food Coloring. Once my coffee filters were dry, I began to string my book pages and coffee filters together. Alternating filters and pages. In the end, I came out with this:
Of course, you could hang this anywhere. It would look beautiful on a cake table at a birthday party, for a bridal shower, in a bathroom, or even above your bed!!
I hope you will try making a coffee filter and book page garland soon and let me know how your’s came out.
Thanks for joining me today! It is always a pleasure to have you here!
I would love for you to join me on:

Happy Thursday!!! Isn’t it a beautiful
Spring day? I am in California helping my mom recover from a hip replacement surgery. She is slowly recovering, but doing really well. I am enjoying the green hills and the birds singing while I am here. And, of course the quality time I am having with my mom. I am also excited to spend Easter with some of our sweet grand kiddos.
If you know me, you know I like vintage and book pages, right? Well, I have the ideal book page bird nest for your Easter table or for anytime of year. This is MY version of a DIY Book Page Bird Nest.
Isn’t it sweet???
Let me share with you how I made my book page bird nest.
I hope you have all been enjoying the past week on my blog. It has been all about Fall. From crafts, comfort food recipes, FREE printables, home tours and MORE.
As promised last week, I am going to show you my book page and burlap garland. It is ideal for incorporating with Fall decor or actually anytime of year.
Making a Burlap and Book Page Garland is easy and fun to make.
I am thinking about a few Fall ideas. Against my will, Fall is coming upon us!! I think these book page flowers are perfect for anytime of year.
