Creating Coffee Table Books From Textbooks | Upcycling Books | Trash to Treasure | DIY Home Decor

Coffee table books can be pricey and they might not always match your decor. Maybe the book colour is right, but the title is in gold while all your accents are silver! Why not get completely custom designer coffee table books?
In this video I take old textbooks that no one is going to read or reference and upcycle them in stylish home accents. I use different paints and fabric to create different looks. I don't stop there. Using my Cricut I make custom titles. I even bling out the paper edges with some Rub 'n Buff. These books look completely refreshed and on point.
This is a simple and inexpensive project. It's something you could do with your kids to decorate their own spaces. You can go a neutral or as wild as your decor style takes you!
This is definitely a low budget project with high end results!

I’ve just subscribed and have been binge watching your videos. Can I just say…you’re a genius. Rub n buffing the side of the book is 👌🏼

Thank you so so much!! I just got a new gold colour of Rub N Buff and I think gold on a book will look so good. Thanks for dropping a comment to say hi!

[@cheekyllamacreations]

@@HomeCulture You’re welcome! Funny you should mention the gold as I’ve just purchased a tube of Antique Gold rub n buff for my picture frames. I also have a shelf full of black hardback books with gold print on the spines that I recently purchased from the Library. I can fill a large bag for $10 (Australian)! Some are only 2 years old! I’m definitely going to give the pages a coat of Antique Gold! Thank you for the great idea! Love your personality and the bloopers! 😁👍🏼

@@cheekyllamacreations And I love that you are Australian! The black books with the gold spine will look stunning! And what a deal! When you are doing the spines you have to squeeze the book really well - if you have clamps to hold them together for you, that's even better.

@@HomeCulture Thank you. I'm English living in Australia but I do have dual nationality, so I'm a bit of both 😁 Thanks for the tip re clamps! 🙏👍🏻
