There's no end to creativity once you put your mind to it. HINT - You can do similar work with leftover construction tubes! You'd be stunned by what my high school kids created out of them! I want to create a book about it! Re the handbags from hardcover books – I have an art teacher friend who gave this as a project to her high school classes- what they came up with was AMAZING.

Of course, my co-workers were throwing them in the trash, but I saved a hundred of them with the idea that I will make my own book covers or something else with them. If there is a similar discount book warehouse, they may be willing to save some for you if you ask them.

I made one of two giant brown paper bags, and used only the bag, and bit of glue to make it (about a5 size, and the paper handle keeps it together). http://www.instructables.com/id/Totally-Recycled-NOTEBOOK/?ALLSTEPS this has a good basic recipe.
