Book Cover Headboard
Bibliophiles, now there’s a way to enjoy books even more than simply reading them. Turn them into a headboard and proclaim your love of books to uh, your bedroom. If you are concerned about harming books for this project, don’t worry, there are many unloved books in the world that would love to get a second chance to be loved. Check your local Goodwill outlet (you know, “the bins” where stuff is sold by the pound) and you’ll see what I mean. If you can’t find nice color-blocked covers like these ones among the unloved books, break out your spray paint and give ‘em some love.
You can use the interior book pages to make a book page headboard, or a ruffly wreath, or book page shoes, maybe some gift wrap, or a cool necklace, a ruffled table runner, punched paper flowers or plasticized book page “fabric.”
Okay, this is CRAZY good! What a simple and genius idea.
Would be GREAT in a kids room! That is where I am going to try it
I actually saw this a few months ago on instructables and made it last week for my new (tiny) apartment. I made mine a bit smaller and used thick posterboard instead of plywood (I couldn’t find any thin enough). Was extremely easy to put together and is very interesting. I used more toned down earth tone colors to fit my color scheme. I used matte polyuerethane spray to finish and protect the book covers. I absolutely love it. I’ll be using mine just for wall decoration instead of a headboard.
Helpful info. Lucky me I discovered your web site by chance, and I’m stunned why this coincidence didn’t took place earlier! I bookmarked it.
