I have a couple of old books that I like to keep on our coffee table. They were part of a big box of books the hubs inherited. They work really well with the color scheme we have going on in the family room, but I wanted to give them a festive look for the holidays.
I used a couple pieces of clear mailing tape on the inside to keep the paper in place. I also added a border to the one pictured above by taping a strip of coordinating paper to the edge. I’m not too worried about the tape damaging these books since they’re already pretty worn looking (and they’re not exactly “worth” anything – at least not to anyone other than us). I could have probably skipped the tape all together, but I didn’t want it to be too easy for the 4 yr. old’s fingers to take the covers off 🙂
Love the paper you used and what a great way to dress up your table! The twine and candle are perfect with it!
