We teach our children to treat books like little treasures; never write in a book, never spill food or water on a book, always use a bookmark instead of folding the pages down and never rip or cut a book.

Let’s face it, not ALL books are worth cherishing, sharing or saving. You must admit that there are a few duds out there. I say we can sacrifice one or two in the name of creativity and home decor, right? In this age of Pinterest-inspired crafts, I came across hundreds of ideas for adorable projects using old books. This bookfolding idea particularly caught my eye.
