I love book page crafts. I also love crafts that are useful. So when I saw these book page pencils made by Jenny from Cresendoh, I was smitten. These pencils would make perfect Valentine's Day gifts for students and grown ups alike (maybe with a card that says "You're the Write One for Me"?). Personalize them by choosing a kind of paper that suits you: a book, sheet music or even plain deli paper for a more subdued look. [how to make book page pencils]
