A Real Page Turner
Wednesday, September 3Have that empty spot on your bookcases that needs filled? Looking for something neat and unusual to decorate the tops of your hutch? Low on cash, but want to stretch those creative juices? Then here is a fun and free project to do with all those old paperbacks you might have laying around!
Starting at one cover, simply turn each page in towards the spine, catching in the spine to create a loop. Continue through the entire book (you could even read as you go, catching on your old reading, or figuring out why this is a better use for that old book anyway!)
Tape the covers together to form a column...repeat in different size books to create a great textural display, or turn on sides to show off the 'flower' pattern. Once those pages start turning...your creativity could go wild! Have fun!

Hi Kari and Kijsa,
That is a unique and great idea. I may have to use that one! Thanks for posting.
If you have a chance to visit my blog and voice your opinion about my picture frames I would love your input. I trust your taste!

I've seen those before but never made one. Thanks for the inspiration. And, you're right. Even those of us on a very, very tight budget could make one.

I remember making angels like this when I was in Sunday School! I love the idea of making columns for interest, though, especially for those nooks and crannies that need something...

One of the reasons I like your ideas so much is because I look at them and think, "I can do that!" AND, they are very creative ideas that really appeal to me. :-) I have seen this done but had forgotten about it. Thank you for the reminder!

Hurrah! It is ideas like this that keep me coming back each and every morning. Many thanks, for your immensely clever generousity.
P.S. I'm making a set of 3 such designs, varying heights. I'm going to fold in the corners of the smallest book, making a more rounded shape. - September 4, 2008 1:28 PM

I have done this with old catalogues and used the finished product as a door stop. I loved doing them and taught my boys to make them as well. I never thought of using an old paperback book though.
God bless. - September 4, 2008 9:11 PM

I've seen this done before and it really does make a statement. A very nice affect!
Hey, I'm having a simple poetry challenge... You ladies seem to excel at these things. Come and take a peek...

We used to make these to fold down like Christmas trees and then spray silver and sprinkle glitter.
My sister is visiting and I will share this with her.
I know she will remember these with a smile. - September 5, 2008 6:51 AM

I am so anxious to try this. I think it looks really different and a great addition to a bookshelf. We will see.
I enjoyed finding your blog so much I added you to my blogroll.

Ok, ladies, I have STARTED on my book but, boy, it is going to take awhile. Slow work indeed. I just hope mine looks as good as your's does. :O)

Well I came to tell you I loved Kijsa's "oven,plate, pie" poem...and see that someone is remodeling a wonderful home! Now I'm gonna wander around and play catch-up...and want to tell you also to come read me, please...and enter this writing contest that I did! You'll both beat me...but...it will be worth it to read what you write :)

We did this one year for a Halloween party centerpiece. We added stems and jack o'lantern faces. We even spray painted some orange. We did a whole long line of them down the center of a long table and it look wonderful. Thanks for the memory!

My great grandmother (who passed recently just a month shy of her 101st birthday) had something similar for as long as I remember. It was made from a catalog though and it was so heavy she used it as a doorstop.
Memories.....
