This is a fun and simply way to recycle unwanted books. If you have a lot of unwanted books you can make several and give them away to friends and family.

Paint the ends if you prefer and tie a ribbon around the twig to finish it off.

Just grab an old book and trace out the pumpkin shape, (on the blog see ink below) then cut out the pages with an exacto knife.

After you have cut out all the pages, place a twig or cinnamon stick in the center of the spine for the “twig”.

Hot glue the spine together, twig and all.

I had to touch it up a bit and glue a few other pages together to get it to form a pumpkin shape.

I used a book that had 500 pages. I would not recommend using a book that thick. I had to rip out many pages afterwards to get it to form into a pumpkin shape.

  Hello! Yes, you would take the covers off first...especially if they are hard covers. :)
