Huge Roundup of 50 Book Related Crafts


I just finished my 4th annual Book Inspired Craft Week last week, and throughout the week I shared some of the previous year's projects on Facebook, in addition to the new projects from this week. I thought it would be nice to have all of the Book Inspired Crafts in one place. But then I started thinking about other projects I have on my blog that fall into that book or reading related category. I have Harry Potter projects that fall in the "book inspired" category but weren't part of the series, I have bookmarks, library bags, and even shirts that I made for people who love to read. So then I decided to put all of those project in one place and that place is right here- in this roundup of 50 Book and Reading Related Craft Ideas

This is my 4th Annual Book Inspired Craft Week, where each day this week I am sharing a favorite book and pairing it with a craft project inspired by the book. Most of the books that I have shared over the years I have done this series are ones that I remember from my childhood and this book fits in that category. The book that inspired today's craft is The Hundred Dresses by Eleanor Estes.

Today is technically Day 3 of the Book Inspired Craft Week, but I actually missed getting yesterday's pattern up so it is actually only Day 2. I had some other stuff come up yesterday that took longer than anticipated and used up the time I planned to finish up editing a video I needed to go along with the project. So I will push that off to another day, normally my Book Inspired Craft Week runs Monday-Friday, but we might be adding a project on Saturday to make up for the skipped one, I will find some time to get it posted. But for now let's take a look at today's book and project.

This week is my 4th Annual Book Inspired Craft Week. Each day this week I will be sharing a favorite book and pairing it with a craft project inspired by the book. A lot of the books I have shared in this series are books from my childhood, books that I remember reading and loving. Others are favorites of my kids, books that have helped them gain a love of reading. The book that I chose for the first project this year is one that I read as a kid- The Secret Garden.

Today is March 1st, and that means it is time for another bear. This is the 3rd bear in the Bear of the Month Crochet Along and the March Bear was actually inspired by a bear I made a few years ago. I didn't want to repeat that bear exactly, just in a smaller size so I changed it up a little bit.  But without further ado, this month's bear is...
