FOUR friends of mine are currently expecting little ones, and I've been keeping an eye out for gifts to celebrate the new babies. While exploring a boutique in Florida last month, I came across these letters that had been cut from covers and pages of old children's books. I think I'll always advocate first for these books to be read and loved if possible of course, but this was such a creative way to reuse them! (I thought of a few books I'd thrifted without realizing some had pages missing.) Here are a few ideas I like to repurpose children's books when they can no longer be read.
