DIY Book Pedestal

This project is so simple, fun, and totally free, that I'm sure you will like it and will use it to make this sweet little thing.
How to use an old book to make a decorative pedestal?
You will need:
1 paperback book around 300-400 pages in length, and about 10 minutes of your time!
Here's how to do it:
First remove the cover of the book front and back.
Then the first side bend back at the half.
Continue to bend each side in the same way by the end of the book.
Fold the last page and you'll get the perfect pedestal.
Pretty awesome, if I may say so!

  1. Vesna, koja ideja! Probati ću to napraviti, baš imam jednu knjigu koju sam našla i koju mi neće biti žao "žrtvovati"!

  3. Voila! I absolutely love this, Vesna!! So charming. It is an easy and inexpensive project anyone can tackle. Don't you think 2 or 3 of these pedestals in different heights would be cool? Great post. Thanks for sharing it with us :)
    Hope you are well, my friend!
    Cheers from DC,

    1. Thank you for visited me Loi. I agree that it is even better if you have three different heights,so I plan to make a set.
      Wish you a great weekend and hope you are well too.

    Odlicna ideja, vidjala sam je vec po blogovima, ali nikad nisam isprobala. Ja sam jedna od onih kojoj je zao unistavat knjige, pa se nikad ne mogu odlucit na taj projekat, mada izgleda sjajno.
    Lp, Sonja.

  10. Da, ideja je jako zanimljiva, ali nisam probala. A imam želju, jer sam videla da na ovaj način prave lampe. Mnogo toga vidim, sve hoću, ali nikako da shvatim da dan traje 24 sata i da nema vremena za sve što bih ja htela, mimo onoga što treba i što se mora.

    1. Znam, ja dnevno kroz glavu propustim milion ideja, skujem milion planova, a onda na kraju dana shvatim da nisam našla vremena ni za jednu... Nije važno, naći će se malo vremena i za ono što je za dušu. Dobra strana ove ideje je što sve traje 10-15 minuta. :))

  11. What a great idea, very original!!

  12. Divna ideja! Fantastično izgleda! Samo što bih ja morala da kupim neku knjigu koja mi se baš, baš ne dopada da bih mogla ovo da joj uradim:)
