I have three books on my night stand that are just there for looks and as a base for either fresh flowers or small plants.\u00a0 Frankly, they were tired.\u00a0 They weren’t looking tired – they were tired.\u00a0 It could be because two of the books are very old.\u00a0 One belonged to my great-grandfather, and one was my late grandmother’s school book.<\/h3>\n

You can see why they just weren’t doing it for me anymore.<\/h3>\n

So, I went to the craft store and bought this wrapping paper to give them a cohesive look.<\/h3>\n

<\/h3>\n

Then I decided to add a little more somethin’, somethin’ to them.\u00a0 I pulled out some old jewelry to add some sparkle to the neutral paper.<\/h3>\n

<\/h3>\n

I got the idea at Haven last year when I saw these books in a Ballard Design display.\u00a0 Since I didn’t have the wax, I decided to go with jewelry instead.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

This is just a simple little project that anyone can do to add some interest to old books.\u00a0 It took just minutes to wrap the paper around the books.\u00a0 I took the back off of the earring and glued them on, and the fringe was leftover from a pillow I made last week.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

This looks so much better, don’t you think?\u00a0 You can read about the red sketch here<\/a>.<\/h3>\n

Thanks so much for stopping in.<\/h3>\n
