Quick DIY Easter Decor Book Stack

 

Enhance your Easter decor by creating a simple Easter-themed book stack.

This is a simple 'put-together' for last-minute Easter decor pizazz.

It took 15 minutes from start to finish!

All you need are three small-sized fiction books and quality easter wrapping paper.

Plus some faux eggs, a bowl of walnuts and a small rabbit to complete the Easter vignette.

I have not used any sellotape or permanent glue for this project, which means there is no damage to the books.

The secret is just folding the paper, with minimal cutting using scissors at the spine, and then tucking the paper between the front and back covers.

Changing the decorative papers for a new theme is easy whenever you want to style a new book stack for another occasion.

I used three books for my stack.

I chose some pretty easter papers to cover the books.

Now let's create the 'Easter Decor Book Stack':

Step One:

Cut the paper to fit the book, allowing fold-over margins. 

Step Two:

Begin creasing the papers in place.

Tucking under the cover.

At the spine (top and bottom), cut notches on the paper as shown. Cut the notch off close to the book spine both ends.

Fold the top corners like an envelope.

Tuck all edges in between the front and back covers. 

Tidy up the internal corners by folding small envelope corners so it looks tidier than a flap.

Step Three:

Stack the books and use easter themed accessories to create a sweet vignette.

You could use the book stack as a centre-piece on a dining or coffee table, a sideboard, on a bookshelf or a side table.

FREE Easter Bunny Printables

Free printables have become a go-to resource for those looking to add creativity and organisation to their lives. There are freebies for planning and organisation, wall art, scrapbooking and crafting.

All the images shown here can be copied and saved to your computer for your personal use. 

Here are some tips that will help you make the most of free printables.

1. Curate Your Collection

Instead of downloading every free printable you come across, consider curating a catalogued collection that reflects your interests and needs. 

Use a dedicated folder on your computer or cloud storage to keep your printables organised. This reduces clutter and saves time when searching for specific items.

Put the images into categories such as Home Organization, Crafts, Easter, Christmas, etc, to make it easier for you to find what you need when you need it.

2. Think Beyond Paper 

  You can just use ordinary computer printer paper, but think

   about upgrading to a heavier card, photo paper in matt, or

  gloss, or even a metallic paper for a different effect.       

   

3. Upsize or Downsize

    A free printable of good quality resolution is user-friendly in 

    the sense you can upsize or downsize the image without  

    blur to use in your projects.

Torenia Wishbone Flowers

Let's talk about the allure of Torenia Wishbone Flowers!

And learn about their edibilty.

Torenia is a plant that produces distinctive blooms that are affectionately dubbed 'Wishbone' flowers.

They are delightful plants that infuse a burst of color and charm into any shady garden setting. Their distinctive shape, fragrance and mesmerising array of hues make these blossoms a favorite.

The plant hails from the lush, sub-tropical expanses of Africa and Asia, and prefers part or full shade conditions.

They don't tolerate full sun, but enjoy dappled light.

You can treat the plant as an annual and overwinter the potted plant inside the house.

Torenia plants are characterised by:

💜 Stunning green serrated edged foliage that beautifully accentuates the small delicate blooms.

💙A unique petal configuration that resembles a wishbone, lending the plant its whimsical name.

💚 A vibrant spectrum of colors, including shades of violet, deep blue, pink, yellow and pure white. Often with contrasting throats or spots.

 The versatility of Torenia Wishbone Flowers makes them a stunning choice for various landscaping endeavors:

💜 They enhance the beauty of flower beds and borders, creating a lush, colorful tapestry.

💙 They are ideal for hanging baskets or containers, as they will gracefully trail and spill over, adding elegance to vertical spaces.

💚 They attract a host of pollinators, including bees and butterflies, promoting biodiversity and the overall vitality of your garden.

Torenia is also non-toxic to children and animals.

In fact, you can eat the flowers!

The flavour is mild and slightly sweet.

You can use them as garnishes in desserts, cocktail drinks and salads, or to beautify a platter of hors d'oeuvres.

 

They also create lovely icy floral garnishes.

Frozen in ice using cube trays, to add to cold drinks.

Note: The Torenia variety I have featured in this blog post is 'Yellow Moon'
