1. Picture frame: Use a utility knife and metal ruler, to cut a window in an old cloth-bound book cover to create a picture frame.
2. Table lamp: Stack books to desired lamp length. Clamp together and drill through book stack. Insert lamp kit.
3. Pillow: Photo copy page of book onto photo fabric. Use coordinating fabric to craft a one-of-a-kind pillow.
4. Artwork: Frame the cover or page of favorite book and hang on wall.
5. Shelf: Using 3 L-shaped brackets (2 supporting weight of book & 1 above book) mount book to wall creating a unique shelf.
6. Bookmark: Use a utility knife to remove book’s decorative binding. Glue binding to cardstock and attached ribbon or tassel to top.
7. Decorative files: Remove pages from old photo album. Hot glue standard sized accordion file inside album. Hot glue decorative ribbon to tie closed.
