That could be an interesting idea and there are plenty of ways to put it into practice.

Book pages can also be used to make beautiful roses which you can put together in a bouquet or display in a vase. Here’s all you’re going to need if you ever want to craft these flowers: paper, ribbon, 16 gauge wire, a glue gun, scissors and wire cutters. A nice trick is to use coffee to give the paper an old appearance. Check out the project on 100layercake.
