Another project I saw on Pinterest. You can decorate with books. The tutorial that I saw actually painted the hard cover books and stamped directly on the spine of the book. It looked nice but it's very permanent. I tried it a different way.
So that I could reuse the book for different season and not actually harm the book itself, I covered it with brown paper bags. For the spine I stamped the words then glued it to the book cover. The tutorial said not to worry about being perfect with the stamping and that crooked or uneven spacing adds to the charm. The perfectionist in me had a hard time letting go and not worrying but as you can see I managed.
It was finished off with a fall ribbon and I tucked in a leaf and a sunflower.
Simple as can be and oh so cute.

Thanks. It's simple and doesn't take much time to do
I've been seeing a lot of it this year. Guess it's a new thing to decorate with books
Thanks and you are right. I can recover them for every season or holiday and you could use any kind of paper.
What a great idea!!!!...:)jp
definitely a great way to spice up a season, without losing the books...
Oh, Ann, I so love this!
You are one smart crafting lady, and I knew you would guess my pumpkin. So far, you are the only one. There is one more detail to be revealed, you will be on my blog next post.
That's a cute idea.

I'm looking forward to seeing what else there is to that pumpkin.
LOL, it's under the wrapping
