…compilation of tutorials
I presented many ideas on book recycling before, to embellish a book page with cross stitch belongs absolutely into this category :)

I’ve already presented a couple of feathers, that’s my first music sheet feather :)
Also beautiful, isn’t it? I can imagine it as well with old book pages.

I find the book birds really cute – and I’m sure that should the situation arise you can also make book fishes ;-)

I’ve presented very delicate paper mache bowls before, I find the book bowls which are made with the pages of old books just as beautiful!

I find this very nice: a paper pendant made from an old book.
I guess that it was made similarly to the jewelry from stacked paper.

The book vase is similar to the already presented shape book, book pumpkin and other book objects; I present it anyhow because I like the idea of a vase :)

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

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 ;-))

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 ;-)

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 :)
