This past Thursday, I found three, incomplete encyclopedia sets on the side of the road. I wasn't quite sure what to do with them at first, but like most Pinterest addicts and roadside junkies, I had to "rescue" them. Surely, they can become something great.
I've searched the web and have pictured some great ideas below. Be sure to check out the original creators and their tutorials if you're interested in repurposing a few books.
I love everything about the following picture. The leaves are made from book pages & the vine is from craft paper. And who could resist that hutch?! It's absolutely stunning!
This is a unique take on the book wreath.

Need I go on?! The possibilities seem endless.
Never estimate the value & character that lies hidden in an old book. Or in my case, 35 vintage encyclopedias lying on the side of the road.
