If you’ve shopped at Repurposed Provincetown, you’ve undoubtedly seen—perhaps even purchased—Upcycled Book Buttons. Created by Sam Williams, the young artist behind 1 Oak Bespoke, these buttons and magnets created from previously-loved books are among the most popular items in our store. Unfortunately, because they’re all small and one-of-a-kind, they are not (and may never be) online at RepurposedOnline.com.
If you’ve wondered what Sam does with the outsides of the books she uses, well, here’s the answer. We carry Attic Journals, and love their stuff, but when the chance came up to have Christmas-themed journals, we couldn’t resist. Use them for your holiday gift ideas or as a sketch book, or give one as a Christmas gift for your favorite artist or writer.
Each of these small journals uses the covers from a Little Golden Book—the pages of which Sam has used for her buttons—but inside the spiral-bound book, instead of the original story you’ll find over 50 pages of blank paper. All of these smaller journals measure 6-inches by just-under-8-inches.
You’ll see multiples of some titles because you are purchasing the actual book shown, not just one like it.
This item is one of a kind. You are purchasing the exact item shown in the image(s).
About Upcycled Book Buttons
Upcycled Book Buttons are the brainchild of Sam Williams and her 1 Oak Bespoke brand. Sam loves working with discarded materials and is the youngest artist featured at Repurposed. In addition to using the pages of discarded children’s books for her pins and magnets, she also uses the covers to create blank journals and makes gift tags and all of the backers for her products from cereal and cracker boxes.
Because each Upcycled Book Button is truly one-of-a-kind and not mass-produced, it is logistically impossible for us to feature them online. Please visit our Provincetown location for a huge selection.
