You can seek out... match boxes, pasta boxes, perfume boxes... pretty much anything that's made out of cardboard! Look for pretty colors or fun words.
 |
| Box from hair product I purchased |
 |
| I decoupaged the inside covers |
 |
| I just used linen tape on the spine |
 |
| Cover from a sample of perfume that I thought was pretty |
 |
| The back I covered in a scrap of marbled paper |
 |
| Also made a business card book (rear), and a matchbox book (front). |
I hope you have fun finding new little boxes to make into fun, usable books! Don't toss out those boxes into the recycle bin just yet!

So many great suggestions Shari! I love the little matchbox book and would never have thought of it - thank you so much.
ps I'm so looking forward to seeing your garland - I love this exchange of ideas.
You're welcome, Shell!
I do, too! It was awesome to see your garland this morning, as it was just on my mind - having emailed my bf about it... he actually taught me a style of paper flower to make! I want to make a bunch of different kinds and well.... you'll see! :-)
Such fabulous ideas! I have been saving a box from some makeup I bought at Victoria's Secret because I adore the box. Now I know exactly what to do with it. I need to find some images to decoupage to the inside covers and get some linen tape for the spine. Thanks so much for the wonderful ideas here today! I'm so excited to try this.
Yay, Terri! That's exactly the kind of "ah ha" moment that I wanted to come out of this post. :-) Great thinking! If you need any help, or more instruction, let me know!
