Purse
I can't believe I did not include this in our old list of** book crafts;** I used to make book bags. In fact, my very first projects when I started craft blogging were book purses. They sure were fun to make. If you want to create your own, check out the video tutorial after the link.
Activity Book
How cute! This is a great DIY book craft for a little boy or girl in your life. I bet this will make a wonderful birthday or "just because" gift. Of course, this can also be made for an adult who likes to draw or paint. I think I will give this idea a go and make a portable art kit for my sister.
Frequently asked questions
Organizer
Becky made this for displaying Christmas cards. But you can also try this fun book project for organizing mails, papers, and other things in your home office.
Table Runner
I love this! I am not very sociable and if I were to be invited to a dinner event with this as the table runner, I will not feel out of place. That's right, I will be reading the book page runner. I might even make friends by asking people down the table what's written on the runner in front of them.
Tutorial
Jewelry Display
This DIY book craft idea is pretty cute, too. What you will need to make one are door knobs and a book. Screw the door knobs through the open book, hang, and hang your jewelry. Easy and fun! Design variation: use a page of the book that has very interesting illustrations.

Planner
If you don't like the planners sold in stores near you, you can make your own. What you can do is replace the planner cover with the cover of a vintage book. This is easy. You simply remove the "innards" of the book, make pockets for the cover interiors, and then insert the planner. Check out the link for photos of the steps.
Kindle Cover
On top of the activity book, I will also give this particular DIY book project a go. I happen to like my current Kindle cover but there are times when I get tired of the all-black, all-leather look.
Jewelry Box
This is another DIY idea by the uber-creative Kinsey. I like having random books around my house and in the bedroom. They take up space but it wouldn't be so bad if I transform one book into a jewelry box. So basically, this gives me a multi-purpose and book-related home decor.
