- Side table
Pile them up, then place a tray or stable flat surface on top to make an adjustable height table.
- Memory box
Hollow out a book with a craft knife to hold keepsakes and other trinkets.
- Layered art
Print pictures over the pages for a visually arresting art piece. If the page is an odd size, tape it over paper before printing to hold it in place.
- Table clock
Make your own with a DIY clock kit (available at craft stores) or disassemble an existing timepiece. You can also paint the book to make your creation more unique.
- Photo frame
Cut through the cover and create wide to narrow cuts through the pages to create a sweet bevelled frame for your favourite pics.
- Patterned lampshade
Stick pages on an old lampshade for a soft lovely glow when you turn on the light at night.
