As most book lovers will agree the odd book can often succumb to wear. Whether that's over appreciative tiny readers scribbles, soggy pages from reading in the bath, or just general wear and tear from their well worn lives. When this happens its so lovely to make something from those precious pages, if we can't read them anymore that we might as well make something beautiful with them! This fun bunting would be lovely in a nursery or for pretty party decor.
