A few simple recycled book craft projects from the Second Square #5 event

I want to share with you here some simple recycled book craft projects. These are several small decorative and practical objects that you can make from recycled paper of any kind. Not only books, but also magazines, newspaper etc.

For the Second Square #5 event last weekend, I ran a workshop on the theme How many different objects can we make out of a recycled book? The event went really well, and many beautiful objects were created by all.

For this event I had prepared several instruction sheets for some of these different ideas. These projects include how to make a paper gift bag, paper beads, paper flowers and even a paper Eiffel tower.  The instruction sheets, as well as some photos of the Second Square #5 event and of these recycled book craft projects, can be found below.
