Upcycled Books and Such

Now that so many people are going paperless and switching to devices such as Kindles, Nooks and Tabs, what becomes of the old books?

Some of us may like to hang onto our old books but some of us might like to turn the page and create something new.

Here are some ideas that you may find handy when it comes to upcycling your old books into new treasures.

Keep your love of books alive by creating a Book Wreath. Or turn the old pages of your books into tags.

These tags were posted by Earth911 and I think it is a wonderful way in which to re-use books. Tags can be used in scrap-booking, smasbooks, for gifts and more! 

My personal favorite is this Book Birdhouse. The Tutorial is very easy-to-follow with plenty of images.

I hope you are as inspired and motivated to upcyle as much as I am. Afterall, we only have one planet. So lets all do our part and take care of it. 

Recycle or Upcycle. It's the smart thing to do.
