Book interiors for decoration

Old hardback books can be difficult to recycle, due to the adhesives they contain. Artist Laura Cahill has found a novel way to reuse such books, by turning them into vases.


The books are cut to shape and wrapped around a test tube, so they can be used. I even found instructions online of how to make a version yourself. Unfortunately, hundreds or test tubes at work were thrown out a few month ago and I didn't know of this use for them at the time.



Laura also reused book to make this table and the base of a reading lamp.
