The clock in my son’s room broke. I’m considering turning a book into a clock. Here’s some tutorials that tell you how to Turn A Book Into A Clock:

I know it’s kind of silly, but I always get a bit bummed out when I see repurposed books. I dunno, I just hate seeing a book be hollowed out, glued to something, or otherwise rendered unreadable.
It’s dumb of me because I know it’s better than having them sit around not being read. I just feel sad for the stories for whatever weird reason.
I actually agree with you about that, which is why I’ve stopped posting so many projects about recycling books into crafts. I like this one, though, because you can pick a book you really love and put it up on your wall as sort of a functional trophy.
