DIY Project how to turn really old books into Home Decor

   Yes I am a Photographer but also I LOVE to decorate and do artistic projects so I thought I would share this one. It is simple and inexpensive. 
   First go to thrift stores and buy old books the ones that are really really old like 1920's 1930's work best and you will be surprised how easy these are to find. 
   Here is a picture of my books I found at 2 thrift stores yesterday the cost me $5.00. 

        Take the books outside and remove the covers. You may find some really cool writing inside on the front page and you can put this book on the top of the stack to show it off. I painted the bindings of a few in the stack Robin's egg blue to give them some extra color. You could also leave them all natural for an earthy look or paint them all white for a shabby chic beach look.
Stack them according to size largest on bottom and ties them with some cord or ribbon. You could get really creative here adding little embellishments on the top. Here is how mine came out and it took me 10 minutes to make these!
