Recycled Book Art at Green Projects!

March 09, 2012

Teens! Please join us on Tuesday March 13th at 6:30 p.m. for this month's exciting and wonderful Green Projects program, where we give old and used materials a new life as a unique recycled craft! We have a fabulous project in store for you this month; we will use a material that we happen to have in copius quantities here at MCPL, old books!

We will be making awesome accordion-like desk organizers using only old paperback books, a special folding technique, and a little bit of creativity. An impressive feat of recycling, if I do say so myself! As it turns out, with just those few items as the basis, the possibilities are almost endless! Check out my sample in the photo for a basic example (hopefully you will snazz yours up a little more than mine!). If you have any other ideas for projects using recycled books, feel free to bring those to share. I hope to see you there!
