Giveaway- Folded Book Art: 35 beautiful projects to transform your books?create cards, display scenes, decorations, gifts, and more

Leave a comment in today’s post by April 6th, 2017 and you are in the running for this beautiful book filled with projects made with recycled books, book pages and covers.

Open to U. S. residents only please.

More about the book from CICO Publishing:

“Create a fantastic world of delight with these 35 inspiring projects—all made from old books!

Follow Clare Youngs‘ simple step-by-step projects to make a huge variety of creative book art projects. In the first chapter, Folding Books, get folding and make a beautiful bird, a sailor’s knot, and a shining star, they look impressive but are deceptively simple to make. In Chapter 2, Making Scenes, you will learn how to cut and glue splendid scenes such as tiny paper mushrooms and ferns under a glass bell jar, a fairytale castle, and a tiger in the jungle, all of which would make great gifts, or just keep and display them all yourself! Chapter 3, Refashioned Pages, has ideas for transforming the pages cut from books—make greeting cards, a botanical print lampshade, and hanging birds. All the projects have helpful step-by-step instructions and illustrations so all you need are a few old books and you are ready to start!”

Handmade with a Past: Tuesday’s Top Recycled Etsy Find

If you’re looking for a bag that’s as stylish as it is eco-friendly, look no further than this recycled cloth jute beach tote bag. Handcrafted from upcycled materials, this tote combines the rustic charm of jute with the sustainability of recycled cloth, making it the perfect accessory for your next beach trip, farmers’ market visit, or casual day out.

The sturdy jute fabric gives it a timeless look, while the use of recycled cloth keeps things fresh and eco-friendly. It’s large enough to hold all your essentials—whether you’re headed to the beach or carrying groceries—and it’s the kind of bag you can feel good about using.

Why this tote bag is a must-have:
