Handmade Stuff

It occurred to me last night while watching Kirsty's Handmade Christmas on TV that I can upcycle things into notebooks fairly easily. A wonderful lady called Isabelle Ting showed Kirsty how you can simply bind some pages into a book. That got me thinking as to the different types of things that you can recycle or upcycle into book covers. An Etsy search showed that some people were already doing wonderful things with old Board Games, Starbucks coffee cards, Playing Cards and any old bits of old leather. I have lots of things that need a reuse, but nothing that immediately springs to mind as an obvious candidate for a book cover....... but I love the idea, and will certainly be thinking of a new and novel way that this skill can be used to upcycle!
