I had an idea for shoes bleached to look like old paper and then decorated to look like scattered book pages. I decided to based mine on the Magic Book from Ni No Kuni but you could do many cool variations. I've only estimated the time taken to decorate, not the time taken to bleach the shoes (that took forever!)

Bleach the hell out of some black canvas shoes, this took me a few days of bleaching, drying, washing and repeat but the colour came out great in the end. *safety of course, yadda yadda.
Once bleached, sketch on your book pages in pencil and then go over with Sharpie marker. At this point you could choose to do a different book, just remember you need clear pages as you won't be able to read anything on them. I though River Song's diary maybe but I'm not that big of a Whovian. Old comic pages would look great but you'd need to be confident in your artistic abilities.
Start drawing in your pages, I googled 'Ni No Kuni book pages' for references. Spell pages have more impact and recall the game better but you need to add other pages too.
Keep going, takes a while and if fiddly on the eyes but keep going!
And done, I used a site called Ians Shoelace site for the Pentagram lacing method.
