I’m Haley Pierson-Cox from The Zen of Making, and this is your weekly dose of geeky goodness!
Books and geeks go hand in hand, and a sturdy old hardcover can make for a perfect start to a craft project. So, to celebrate Earth Day, I put together a roundup of my favorite book upcycling tutorials!

I am an avid reader and have a lot of old books sitting around. I love the idea of recycling old hardcover books and using them as pots for plants. It makes me feel as if the book is coming alive through the pages.
I am in love with this idea. If you don’t have an old book laying around, you can pick one up at your local resale shop for a buck or two. How great to create something new out of something old. The planter is my favorite, since succulents are my kind of fuss-free plants.
I am totally swooning over the recycled book handbag. It is the perfect combination of both my obsessions, reading and purses. “Tracy” using an old book from a resale shop is a great idea. I think the purse would come out even more interesting with that vintage aspect/look.
