Yesterday I showed off my hutch makeover and some of the cute accessories I've been making this past week. This book bundle is so easy to make so I want to share the simple steps with you! |
First, I hit my local Dollar Tree to find some books that were all the same size. I checked under the dust jackets to see what color the hardbound books were. Lucky for me, these were a perfect shade of cream! |
Next, I chose a picture from Google Images. I knew I wanted to do something with either a bird theme and a Paris theme. I found an image with both! Then I picked out my paper. My husband had got me this cute vintage-look paper for Mother's Day but it was too thick. So, I photocopied five sheets of it and then printed my image over it. I think these colors are so pretty: a cream background with pretty PINK flower bundles! |
I measured the width of my book spine and then multiplied that by 3. Mine were about an inch wide so that made it easy. I just drew 1 inch vertical lines on the back of each paper and then cut out a strip from each paper that was 3 inches wide, moving over 1 for each new paper. Then I used my favorite crafting supply, Elmer's Craft Bond Extra Strength Glue Stick, to secure the pieces to the binding of each book. |
Easy and Adorable! Make sure and check out my entire hutch makeover! |
