{DIY} Covered Books

I love books and I do believe they really can furnish a room.
To me they arent just books but accessories for a empty corner of the home.
So why not spice them up a little bit.
I bought these books all for 25 cents each at the local Library.
I had vintage wallapaper and plenty of burlap. The rest was a piece of cake!

Material Needed:


 Simply tuck in the edges under the spine

Burlap is a little tricky to work with. It stretches and has loose strings.
Just be patient and use plenty of tape!


From my home to yours~

This is a lovely idea. I have a few "ugly" books that could use some nice, vintage-y covers like this.

I used to manage a Fossil store and we decorated all of our shelving with books like that. Every time we re-set the floor we would update the books in coordinating colors.

Great use of vintage wallpaper! I covered our very lonely one coffee table book in brown paper and added some ribbon to make it look like a bow, but I love the mix of pattern and texture here. Will have to give this a try!
