If you have a collection of old books just lying around, you can repurpose them into home décor by creating a DIY vase for faux flowers. Use a utility knife to cut out the pattern and craft glue to hold it together.
Before starting this project, make sure you have an old book, a sharp blade, cardboard or paper for a template, craft glue, and clamps. The WORKPRO Premium Utility Knife and Bearly Art Precision Craft Glue are recommended for this project.

To create a vase from old book pages, start by cutting out a template on cardboard, then use it to shape the book pages. Remove the front and back covers, cut through the pages, and glue them together. After 24 hours, insert faux flowers between the pages to complete the vase.
You can customize your vase by folding the pages to create pockets for the flowers. This project requires the same tools as the previous one but involves folding the pages instead of cutting the covers.
Easy ways to customize your new faux flower vase
If you’re not comfortable cutting the covers off your books, you can still create a DIY flower vase by folding the pages. Use the same tools and follow a similar process, but fold the interior pages to create the vase structure. Consider making custom wallpaper using old book pages to complement the vase and faux flowers.
If you want to create a vase without using books, you can fold heavy-duty paper in a pattern to form the structure. This is a simple project suitable for beginners in crafting.
