vintage style, cottage living, home cooking
I have an obsession with book pages! Any chance I can I use them. They can be large or small. The older the better! Another fun thing about book pages is that you don’t have to spend more than a $1.00 for any one thrifted book.
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:
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.
