If you have an excess of books lying around the house gathering dust, then you’ve already got half the materials for your next best art project. Once you get them looking great, you won’t be able to resist plucking one from the shelf and sitting down for a solid reading session.
We’ve found the four best ways for you to make your books into art pieces;
1. Plywood Shelf

If you can’t decide on a bookshelf to match the décor of the rest of the room, fear not – make one of your less used books into an ‘invisible’ bookshelf and you won’t have to! If you look in the right places, there are ways to make them without harming your books, too.
