I've a bunch of books - some will go to happy homes, and others I know will be harder to rehome. So I'm looking for suggestions (ideally so others will take my books and run with them;)
1. charity shop - Only give them books they'll use
2. Jumble town - Off course
3. Local library - Only for specific books and depends on your library
4. Make a lamp/lamp shade out of a book

5. Make a secret book - a book with a hiding place for money/passport/etc..

6. Make a bird house/book case from old hardbacks

7. Wrapping paper - but I only need so much
8. Using decoupage to re-vamp some furniture you got on jumbletown.

This isn't mine - but I did see a mirror that had this done before and it did look super.
Any other suggestions to have the masses looking for my old books!
