Repurposing Old Books

Book Pages Glued TogatherReader Dell wanted to glue book pages together for a purely decorative book, while I wanted to do so to make a secret box book. So we went in search of the right glue for the job.

Book Pages Glued TogatherHow would I glue the pages of a book together so I can decorate the cover and use as a table or shelf decoration?

Find the answer in Book Crafts: Gluing Pages Together.

  2. I can't wait to get it done and share it. It was a really fun project. Plus it's "green"!

    My personal favorite adhesive for altered books is acrylic medium. But either way you slice it (or glue it!), altered books are a blast :-)

  4. Paper Mod Podge is acrylic, so I guess we agree, Cyndi. I wanted acid-free so my son can pass the altered book down for generations to come.

    P.S. Yes, they're e a blast but my thumb and fingertips are still a bit numb from all the slicing!
