MATERIALSOld thick book
Glue
Remove front pages of the book til you get to the first page of text, repeats for back of book. Glue first page down onto cover and repeat for the back. Now you need to start folding each page in half. When you get to the end that is it The End - you have now completed a recycled book project that will be used everyday. Experiment with different types of books, atlas, dictionary road map books etc. Now all you ned to do is load it up with pics cards and mail etc. The book I used was over 100 yo and really poor condition. The paper is super thick and cracked and split along the folds, I like how the ragged edges of the folds looks, but if you want crisper folds use a book that doesn't have such thick, brittle paper. You could also decorate the inside cover with fabrics instead of the book pages. Or trim the covers back to the same width as the folded pages
