Learn How to Turn Old Books into Works of Art at University Branch Library

Are you stumped for gift ideas? Searching for something different and unique for the book lover in your life? What about folded-book art that you can make yourself? Learn how to recycle old books into creative works of art at a special program, “Folded-Book Hearts,” on Thursday, November 21, beginning at 7:00 pm, at Fort Bend County Libraries’ University Branch Library in Sugar Land.

Library staff will demonstrate how to take an old book and make a heart by folding the pages. No cutting, gluing, or special equipment is needed for this simple craft project. The project is a fun way to re-use old books and give them a new purpose. The resulting piece of art can be a great gift for someone who loves to read.

Materials for the class will be supplied. Those attending the program will receive additional patterns to take with them and work on at their leisure.

The program is free and open to the public. Seating is limited, however, and reservations are required. To register online, click here. Participants may also register by calling the library at 281-633-5100, or by visiting the library.
