Stamped Books – A Popular Trend

Stamped books have become pretty popular lately in home decor. You can find some really cute sets on Etsy. Or you can make your own!

Supplies:

Books (ones that you don’t mind the cover being changed)
Jute string
Stamps and pad
Paint and brush (optional)

Directions:

Decide on what you want your books to say. Some ideas I’ve seen include the names of each family member, a favorite saying like “Home Sweet Home,” or a special date like a birthday or wedding anniversary.

Since we were so close to Independence Day, I decided to make mine look like the American flag.

I purchased a star stamp at Michael’s and just decided to use some paint I already had on hand. But most of the time a stamp pad is used.

Some people rip the covers off and then stamp the spines. I decided to paint them; one red and two blue.

Once they were painted, I stacked them blue, red, blue. Then I brushed white paint onto my star stamp and placed a star on each spine.

To finish it off, I wrapped the stack in jute string several times and then tied a bow!

That’s it! Super easy and fun DIY that will look great displayed on my mantle from Memorial Day to the 4th!
