I'm about ready to cry. These are so beautiful and I, too, remember making these but not with phone books but with the Sears & Roebuck Christmas catalogs lol! I guess I am dating myself. Anyhow, for those of you cringing about destroying a book, use a hardback book. Carefully cut away the spine from the cover. Glue the front and back covers together so you can see the outside. Glue the spine to the side of that, it will create a little lip. Then set your Christmas tree or angel on the stand on top of that. I would seal the cover with a clear glossy seal so it can be cleaned.
Gosh, Elaine, I gotta get in gear with my grandsons!!!!
What a great idea Teresa! Thank you for watching and for sharing that with us!! Have fun crafting with the grandsons...you're making wonderful memories for them!!!
@@ElainePetrakisMidnightCrafter thank you! I absolutely love your public personality! I certainly hope they will always have wonderful memories of me to tell their children as my daughter tells them about my mom!!
OMG 😲, good school memories,love the angel and Christmas tree
That's great Delores! I always love when happy memories are inspired!
Thank you!!
Fantastic DIYs! Wow, someone made 58 of the previous DIY you made? She must have the patience of a lamb lol. I remember the birdcage one and, being a bird lover, it was something that I had intended to make. It's still on my to-do list. LOL. These 2 seem easier than that. So someone can easily make 100s of them. The angel holding a hymn book is so divine. TFS hugs~ Josie 🤗❄⛄
You're so awesome Josie! Thank you for your support!! I know how hard it can be to do our own UA-cam projects and then try and find time for the rest of them that are just for fun. I'm so glad you like these and thank you for watching my friend!!
Have a superb day!!!
I remember doing this in grade school with the Reader’s Digest!
Glad to bring back fun memories for you!
❤️ the Christmas tree. My husband passed away 2 years ago. We was together 28 years. I have few of his books. This give me the idea to make my 2 kids this for a keepsake for years to come. Thanks for sharing.
I am so sorry for your loss!!! It is difficult to lose the love of your life. I was thinking, if the are hardback books, carefully remove the cover, cutting the front and back from the spine. Glue the front and back together so you can see the outsides. Then glue the spine to the edge where you removed it, creating a little lip above the level of the cover, if that makes sense. Use it to stand your angel or tree on. I would seal the cover and spine with a clear glossy sealant
Awww Simone, I love that idea. I'm so sorry for your loss. What a wonderful way to keep his memory alive! Thank you for watching and for such a beautiful idea!
Have a glorious day!!
Yes I made your bird cage. And I gave it to a friend who loves to read. I just might have to make her the Christmas tree. Thanks for the video.
Awesome Karen! Sounds like the perfect gift for her!!! One of my friends already swiped the angel from me! lol
Thank you for watching!!!
Have a dazzling day!!!
We did this in the 1960's using Readers Digest and thick magazines. I made one 10 years ago out of a real thick magazine. It turned out so pretty that it is now in a box stored with my Christmas decorations.
I am an avid reader and cringed, but that ok to use a book that you purchased for this propose. Thanks for sharing
I'd love to see a pic of the one you made as a kidEva! Please post a pic in the Facebook group and share it!!!
Sorry to make you cringe but it's better than the book going through a shredder for recycling I guess....at least that makes me feel better!
Thank you for watching!!
Have a joyous day!!!
I used to make the Angel from Readers Digest with my Grandma when I was a kid....50+ years ago. After we folded all the pages, my Grandpa would spray paint it gold. We made one every year for years. This brought back great memories...thank you Elaine for this DIY. Love them both. Going to try making the tree because I have everything on hand.
I love that Lois! I'm so happy to bring back fond memories of your childhood for you! How cool to spray them gold....awesome! Thank you for watching!!
Have a remarkable day!!!
My Mother's maiden name is Erwin. 😀 not common with an E.
Fantastic thank you for sharing your amazing talent ❤
You are so awsome...thx for sharing n im following you as of NOW. My granddaughter is going to love this Angel's. Many blessings
Adriana, you're so sweet, thank you!! I love angels too, so I have several angel DIYs on my channel. Happy crafting!!!
We used Readers Digest magazines as a kid. We then spray painted them green. Lots of fun!
A blast from the past with this one huh Lisa?! Glad to bring back fun memories!! Thanks for watching!!!
Have an awesome day!!!
excited to try this with some books being thrown out, that are in FRENCH!
How cool! That gives it an extra special something! Happy crafting!!!
Wow! We made these out of Reader's Digest when I was a little girl. My grandmother had a collection of Reader's Digest going back to when they first started the publication. I was a voracious reader and when we spent several weeks with her and my grandfather during the summer, I would read them. She showed us how to make these. We also made Santa and Mrs Claus using them. We just made the first fold on the page so they were quite "fluffy". She spray painted those red and the Angels gold. I don't remember what we used for faces and hands but they were so cute! Thank you for bringing back those awesome memories!!
I'm so happy that these are so nostalgic for you and so many others Mary! That seems to make the project that much more special!! Thank you for watching!!
Have a glorious day!!!
I love the pillar with the angel
Thank you Susan! I thought the pillar really made a nice addition!
Have a marvelous day!!!
Beautiful, I think I am obsessed with these, I wish I didn't have 15 projects started for fall. I will be making some.
Isn't that always the way it goes Jacquelyn? These are easy and are good to do when you're just sitting watching TV or hanging out. Glad you like them! Happy crafting!!
we made these with the TV book or Reader Diegest books with our GrandmaT back in the 50's and we thought she was really crafty ...back then
Don't you love how craft projects come back around?! Kinda like fashion (only I hope the shoulder pads don't!) lol
Glad it brought back fond memories!!
Have an outstanding day!!!
I think book folding is so much fun just started to learn how love your videos
It is un!! You can make so many interesting things with some imagination!! Thank you for watching!!
Have a terrific day!!!
When I was in grade school we made Santa out of Readers Digest. Brought back memories. Loved your Angel & Christmas tree!!!!
Thank you so much Mary Jane! Now you have me curious about how to make a Santa!! Hmmmm
Glad this was a nostalgic one for you!!
Have a fantastic day!!!
We used to spray paint them silver, or gold! Shes cute. Brings back memories
Hey I am a indian girl and thaught about making this for my channel in Hindi it's amazing I love it 💖🌈
That would be great Naina!
I so love the Angel. Thanks for explaining how to make these projects so I can understand. Some diyers don't explain well enough for me to understand. It makes it hard to make those kind of projects.
Thank you Angie! It's my pleasure!!
I work in a library and wanted to find a way to incorporate books into the holidays. Thank you for sharing!
Glad it was helpful Dawn! That sounds like a great idea!!
I made an angel out an old Harry potter book that the library had discarded only difference with my angel is that I made her wings out of the first 25 to 30 pages on either side of the book and the other 700 pages was her skirt then I had a ceramic angel head and I used a doily around the book for her arms and decorated it with roses and I didn’t take off the Front or back cover I love your idea of the Christmas tree it’s something that you could actually keep up all year for your forever tree your angel is very gorgeous also TFS
Wow Glenda! Sounds amazing and majestic!! Do you still have it?
Elaine Petrakis Midnight Crafter Yes I do still have it when I craft I most generally make one thing and then I keep it for myself but if someone wants something that I have made I will either make them one or give what I have made to them I like being a giver also thank you
Very cute nostalgic 👼!
Thank you Susan! I thought they were kinda fun!
Have a wonderful day!!!
So funny. I am actually making one now with the reader's digest. Used to make them as gifts. Thanks
It's a fun project! Happy crafting Elise!!

I'm looking for some fresh ideas for three shelves in my high school English classroom library that I decorate seasonally. This would be great for one! I might even use a hymn book! I received several from a church that was replacing theirs.
Sounds perfect Abba! Happy crafting!!!

I remember these. Thanks for reminding me. I think it was someone’s mom who did this craft at school with us,, but I can’t imagine any teacher being happy to see us destroy any books, though I do like that you said it gets to live on in another form. So cute. Have a great holiday crafting, and I liked this video, saved it and subscribed.
