Handmade vintage newspaper and bound with white paper 130g in an old book via the ideal upcycling as travel newest diary, sketchbook

This beautiful old book from 1965 with a red Pegasus is now a bound notebook of white pages. He is waiting for you to decide on his use: diary, drawing, reading, recipes? It's up to you!

Size:

Ø Pages (front+back = 2 pages): 100 pages (including 12 pages from the original book)
Ø Height: 19 cm
Ø Width : 13 cm
Ø Slice thickness: 2 cm

This book is composed of 5 notebooks hand-bound with waxed cotton thread. I chose a Coptic binding to guarantee a flat opening.

More than a notebook, an upcycled book, these are stories, memories of the first reading of a favorite book. And to upcycle these old books that I collect full of dust, tasks, is to offer them a new life and avoid them the trash.

WWF estimates that depending on the scenarios, the end of life (household waste and recycling) would concern 107,000 to 233,000 t/year of books, all sources combined.

The notebooks I propose have been washed but they can have marks, stripes, discoloration, or other. It's upcycling, not new. But it is in old books newest that we make the best notebooks!

The colors of the photos may vary depending on the settings of your screen.

If you prefer small tile or dotted paper bullet journals, or newspapers bound with waste paper for total upcycling, visit the rest of my shop: https://www.etsy.com/sg-en/shop/Karnedou

Expedition:

The items are packed in tissue paper and shipping is made via Colissimo. I try to reuse cardboard packages already used to limit the impact on the environment, but sometimes I do not have any on hand and therefore use new ones that I invite you to reuse later for your own shipments.

Thank you very much for your visit. Do not hesitate to send me a message if you have any questions or if you are interested in a click & collect in Moëlan sur Mer.
