I presented some links about book recycling already, even so I find a whole couch from books remarkable ;-)

Notes Hedgehog
Well, isn’t the little notes hedgehog great?
Simply fold the pages of a book ;-)
Thank you, Sylvia, for the tip! :)
If you don’t like the notes hedgehog so much, look at the card holder or the card holder from fork, resp., perhaps they’re more your cup of tea ;-)

Book Christmas Tree
I always have difficulties to destroy books, even if the result will be much more beautiful.
For this book Christmas tree it’s not necessary to destroy books and I find it also funny ;-)

Decorated Boxes
These boxes are made to display her products, but I can imagine them also wonderfully as gift boxes!
Wreath from Book Pages
Usually wreaths are not my cup of tea, but even so I find the wreath from book pages beautiful ;-)
But I also liked the other paper leaves wreath ;-)

Do you also still have such old manuals?
Make you a purse from that shows, how old you are already ;-))
Altered Books Simplified
One method to simplify the work on an altered book is to use children’s cardboard books as base. They often have the advantage, too, to have interesting shapes.
Once I began such a book (on the picture you see the original book).
These are the first two pages. I used amongst others (just as for the artist book) self-dyed paper, packing tape transfers, embroidery on paper and dried flowers and leaves.
Because of the embroidery I don’t immediately glue the papers in but I finish the pages first.
The following pages aren’t finished yet – just another UFO (unfinished object) ;-)
