I also 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 I don’t spend more than a $1.00 for any one 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:
Tape or glue book pages together to make a back drop, a banner, or a garland.
Roll and tape book pages into cones, and place them in jars.
Book pages with stenciled birds are easy to make using a canvas and mod podge.
Book page flowers look cute in any home or for any style.
Again, using mod podge, I added book pages to this old jar.
Also using mod podge, I added torn pages and glitter to the paper mache’ ornament.
The glitter really adds to a richer look, don’t you think?? Just like PB.
You don’t always have to use the original book page, you can make copies of it, like I did here.
Here are a few more book page cones with my milk bottles and some pine cones.
Book pages make a perfect table runner.
At this wedding, the book pages add depth and a vintage feel.
Book page wreaths are a classy look for any room or occasion.

Thanks for joining me and letting me share An Obsession With Book Pages. It was fun to show you what I love.
Make it a great day.
We have the same obsession Meegan. Love the book page garland.
You should pop over and visit me at Shabby Art Boutique and check out the Shabbilicious Friday link party where we embrace all that is shabby, French and vintage…. and we love book page projects :)
Amazing what you can do with simple book pages. Love the frame with the Christmas song. I have some Christmas song pages I plan to do something with for my table, but undecided right now. I bought five old Baptist Hymnals, so have lots of song pages to work with.
Happy Christmas.

I enjoy using book pages in projects too, I love all of your ideas!
I have a thing for old books too…these are some great ideas! The frame with the Christmas song reminds me of a gift I gave my husband one year. I framed some sheet music of our wedding song, burnt the edges to make it look old and painted the frame kind of rustic and shabby.
Angie, Thanks SO very much for stopping by today, I hope you come back often.
Oh my goodness…old books are my passion! They are in abundance at library sales, too! Fun, fun, fun…Thank you for sharing.
I have made paper stars with them…http://outofhand-alteredbooks.blogspot.com/2012/11/paper-play.html

Hi Meegan :-) I just got an idea by looking at your homepage… I need to make a new “dress” for one of my lampshades, and it struck me; do it with some old books and use glue and then som lacquer, so I can clean it, once and a vile… Thank u for all your inspration.. <3
