Let’s see, I’ve torn out the pages and folded and cut them to make my own crinkle basket filler paper:
Cut out leaf shapes and stained them to make wreaths.
Torn into strips and applied them to furniture, lamp shades and boxes and stuff like that.

The supplies:
In progress:
The results:
Old books with covers removed and decorated ends; tied up with tea stained muslin ribbon.
Stack of five old books with wonderfully grubby ‘un bound’ ends. (I thought I had a better picture of this stack! I’ll have to add one later I guess.)
You have to look for REALLY old books to find these cool looking edges when you rip off the covers. Newer books will look more like the previous photo where I added some embellishments on the ends; smoother and plainer. But BOTH create fun elements to decorate with.
