With/from old books you can make a lot of things, even planters for succulents ;-)
I find them great!

Reading Ring
Do you know this: when reading it can really strain your hand to hold open your book.
I find the reading ring a great solution!
It is made from Sugru which sounds very interesting.

Recycled Gift Tags
I find these recycled gift tags great!
As well the round as the rectangular elements can depending on the season easily be cut from old Birthday, Christmas, Easter, Spring or whatever cards, or from matching gift wrap papers that are glued to white paper for reinforcement.
In place of the gift wrap papers you should also can use pages from old books, beautiful pictures from (travel) brochures or self-made or self-stamped paper.
And photos.
And, yes, you should also be able to make a coupon Advent calendar! :)
And then you can also embroider, doodle, paint, cut to paper flowers the elements.
And incorporate small beads or yarn threads.
Whew, my imagination rans riot again ;-))

Book Pumpkin
I presented a book apple before, but while we’re at the subject of pumpkins (no, really? ;-))): you can also make a book pumpkin instead of an apple ;-)

Laptop Book Case
When I searched in internet for the laptop book case I found that it is sold ready-made. But it should be possible to make it in the same way than the software documentation purse :)

Book Page Necklace
I find the necklace from old book pages really nice :)
I think that it would also look good if you don’t use round but flower or star shaped cut-outs.

I presented a cardboard shelf before, the cardboard book shelf however is explicitly made for books.

Book Clock
Such a book cache is a fine thing, but when you hide a very visible clock inside you somehow miss the point ;-)
On the other hand you always know the time ;-)))

Book Art
I’m glad to have found a wonderful tutorial for making book art as on the picture :)
It’s similar to the Shape Book.

Corner Bookmark
I presented a corner bookmark before but it was too fanciful to my taste as shown.
I like this corner bookmark much better – although I never fall asleep while reading! ;-)
I like best that you can make it very quick and very individual :)
