Isn’t this a nice book?
And it doesn’t seem to be very hard to make the chopstick binding ;-)

Paper Sun Mirror
This sun mirror is extraordinary, as I find!
I have to chose an appropriate book on the spot ;-)
Although the pages from the travel brochure from the paper shopping bag should look great, too!?
On the next occasion I’ll have to try it ;-)

Phone Book Pen Organizer
If you still have parts of the phone book you used to make the card holder you can complete your desk with a phone book pen organizer ;-)
And if you need a pen holder but don’t like this one, there are others here in the blog ;-)

Inverted Bookshelf
No, no, they didn’t turn the photo upside down here, it’s the whole bookshelf that’s inverted!
Great idea, isn’t it?
By the way, when writing about recycling books I put a link to an invisible bookshelf, you may like it still better (somehow I can’t decide ;-)).

Craft Cozy Mysteries
Sometimes you must be allowed to do something else than crafting or needlework, so why not reading a mystery that concerns in some way crafting or needlework?
;-))

Bookmarks with Elastic
I’m reading a lot and therefore I always need bookmarks.
I love most those where an elastic that holds the pages together and now I’ve found an easy and simply great tutorial for it.
Perhaps I should read just a little bit less and instead make such a bookmark ;-))
Card Holder
Wow, an idea again that I really appreciate: take a phone book, roll it up and fix it with a ring of a nature what-so-ever and done is the card holder!
The silver coloured ring looks quite good, but I imagine that it would look as good when you wrap your card holder with wire, plastic, beautiful yarns or fabrics or when you slip a poymer clay ring over, the only thing to make sure is that you fix everything well.
And in place of the Yellow Pages you can use as well coloured ads or paper – neatly stacked – or books where you removed the cover.

Shape Book
I’ve seen some shaped books, at an exhibition e.g. in our public library and I always liked them.
Therefore I’ve been pleased to find a tutorial for shaped books – great! :))
By the way, there are folded books, too which seem to be interesting, too ;-)

Beaded Edging
I found several instructions for beaded edgings that I find really cute.
Personally I wouldn’t work them on scarves or similar, but on jewelry like pins or cards and artist books just like the bead picots.

Staple Together Little Notebooks
Another very dear friend sent me the link to the inventive technique on how to staple together little notebooks.
I tried it: It works great! And fast! And neat!
;-)
At any rate it is a really great idea that I’m glad to spread.
Playing cards could well serve as cover here ;-)
