Simple DIY Vintage Book Stack...

 Let's create a simple décor piece using books...

A book stack looks fabulous, especially if made with vintage books!

 I adore old books...

Just look at the gorgeous cover design and detail on this 'Anne of Ingleside' classic!

I have the shabbiest old, battered and torn books in my collection.

They are oozing history, and even in the most derelict state, I find them utterly beautiful.

 So, to create a book stack.

All you need is a collection of old books.

The ones I chose are following the aqua and neutrals theme.

 Use a ribbon or jute string to tie around the books.

The ribbon I used was a white gauze.

 You can leave the vintage book stack like that, or you can add an embellishment.

I had this sterling silver dragonfly, so I decided to add that to the stack.

 Using a thread and needle, it was hand-stitched to the ribbon.

 So pretty, and so cheap to create, as vintage books can be picked up for very little at garage sales and op shops.
