unconsumption: Final post (for today!) on reusing books: The retailer Anthropologie (previously here), known for its wildly creative window displays, put dozens of altered books to use in this store display. If you’d like to try your hand at making folded-page objects*, check out patterns — hearts! skulls! Christmas trees! — featured on the Rhymes With Magic blog here. Also, this Sutherland Library video provides simple folding instructions. (Photos: Top, via Apartment Therapy; center, Rhymes With Magic blog; bottom, Apartment Therapy. Book-folding links spotted previously on Candoodles blog.) *Note: Unconsumption caveat on using books as raw material. Inspiration: look at something a little differently today.

If you’d like to try your hand at making folded-page objects*, check out patterns — hearts! skulls! Christmas trees! — featured on the Rhymes With Magic blog here.

Also, this Sutherland Library video provides simple folding instructions.
