10 New Uses Tuesday {Book Pages}

Welcome to another 10 New Uses Tuesday!! 

We all love to reuse things that we have in new ways and that is exactly what this series is all about!! 
Today's is a fun one because it has been very trendy lately!

BOOK PAGES!!

We all have the old book with a torn cover or the dictionary from when we were kids (what is the point of owning a dictionary without "EVOO" in it?) and they are perfect for all these projects!!

I did all of mine with one outdated dictionary and I am sure I will have plenty left, even after my wreath, to make many more. 

Let's get started!!!

1. My FAVORITE!! A wreath, there are a ton of versions out there but here is mine that I started- I will share a tutorial later this week!


2. Shelf liner.

3. Ornaments or hanging decor.

4. Drawing or painting surface for little ones.

5. Mod Podge material.


6. Flowers. 

7. Banners and garlands. 

8. Vase filler.


9. Scrapbooking material.

10. Placemats (for large pages, just add any design you want and then laminate them!) and/or napkin rings. 

What do you do with old book pages?

LOVE this one!! I havent done this yet...because I am too afraid to cut up a book :/ LOL! I thought about using it for pennant banners or those circle accordion thingys. GREAT ideas Michelle!

Such good ideas! I love the look of old book pages, I've really wanted to use them to make layouts and flowers, but I don't have any!! I picked up some free newspapers though and I'm thinking I'll try that instead :)
