For the first stack of books I used one of my vintage French typography sheets. I copied it three times and then placed it strategically on the book bindings so it would read across. I just realized that I did not share this image with you so it will be the focus of tomorrow's post. I love this French paper. For the actual cover of the books I used brown mailing paper which I purchased at Walmart. Basically the cost of this project is finding three books that match in size. I purchased mine at a thrift store for $1 each. Don't limit yourself to three books either. You could do a whole row depending on how wide your image is.
This look is totally romantic which is definitely my style.
Here is an image I got from the Graphics Fairy. It is a new image of hers. I absolutely love it. To use this image click here.
Isn't this a fabulous decorating idea? It makes a great presentation. I hope you will give it a try.
