Scrumptious Bookish Crafts

Scrumptious Bookish Crafts. Recently the lovely blog Candid Cover published a post about hosting a Book Swap Party which I immediately saved under ‘one day when I can get enough bookish friends together’. Β It got me thinking about what crafts we could make during the party which lead to hours online literally drooling over beautiful bookish craft possibilities.

A list of bookish crafts that I would love to make

If you’re planning a Book Swap Party, thinking of making a gift for a bookish friend or just want something fun to do during the holidays then take a visit to these brilliant crafters for the instructions to make these scrumptious bookish crafts.

  1. I am in no way crafty. So whenever I see bookish stuff like this I get jealous. But I guess that’s what etsy is for.

  2. These look so fun. I love so many of them. I really love the book necklace and the ornament. I might even be inspired to try one of these this summer- and I am usually not crafty. Thanks for sharing. πŸ™‚

  3. I love the way these look, but I find it so difficult to cut up a book! Especially old ones as they have survived so much! These would make awesome classroom decorations for my English classroom when I graduate college.
    Thanks for stopping by The Local Muse

  4. Oh my goodness, these are so lovely. I envy those who have the patience and skill to make such wonderful crafts. Hope you get a chance to do these!

  5. Yeah…I would love to make all of that. But I’m not crafty. I love the Zipper Book Clutch though.

  6. These are so cool. I wish I was crafty enough to do something like this. I especially love that wreath and the cute keychains.

  7. Oh my gosh these are ADORABLE ^-^ I don’t wear jewelry but I sure do love those necklaces! They all look like they’re fun to make!

  8. Jo

    Wow these are really cute! I love the book roses!

  9. I need all of these in my life. Especially the first necklace πŸ˜€ Happy reading! https://www.curious-daisy.com/top-ten-tuesday/ten-booktubers-you-should-follow/

  10. If only I was crafty! These are all so neat. I have a pair of earrings that were made using clippings from Agatha Christie books. And a necklace made of a Pride and Prejudice quote. Etsy is such a wonderful place. I love those Leather book necklaces you shared.

  11. It is amazing how many bookish crafts exist! I am going to have to save that bookish jewelry box for a day that I need a relaxing afternoon craft. Thank you so much for the mention. <3

  12. I am the least crafty person you could imagine which means I admire anyone with any craft ability! I love those paper stars and garlands (might get my crafty daughter to make me some!).

  13. Wow! What beautiful bookish gifts! I’m sure any bookworm would love these.

  14. What a neat topic, Sue. Those book roses are absolutely gorgeous! What a fun time all of us would have crafting some of these cute ideas. πŸ™‚
