Dollar Store Home Sweet Home Book Stack Craft
Supplies needed:
Hardcover Books, Three – Dollar Store
Silk Flowers, White – Dollar Store
Natural Twine – Dollar Store
Craft Paint – White, Ivory, Light Grey
Alphabet Stamps – Upper and Lower Case
Ink Pad, Black
Paintbrush
Scissors
Wire Cutters
How to make this cute Home Sweet Home Book Stack Craft:
STEP 1:
Gather all supplies. Remove the paper dust covers and basecoat the canvas covers of the books with a mixture of white and ivory craft paint. Don’t over mix the colors and let the basecoat be rough, so the dark base is visible through the paint. Set aside to dry.
STEP 2:
Dry brush light grey paint around the sides and edges of the books, in places that wear would naturally occur. Set aside to dry.
STEP 3:
Using both the upper- and lower-case alphabet stamps, select the message HOME SWEET HOME. Place the books spine up, tap each letter stamp in the ink pad and stamp on the spine. The irregularity of the stamped letters gives the project farmhouse charm.
STEP 4:
Stack the books together and wrap with twine 10 to 12 times, securing the end with a knot and leaving the tails long.
To create a bow, wrap the twine around your hand 10 to 12 times, trim the end and place in center of book stack.
Secure in place by knotting the tails around the bow.
STEP 5:
To finish, snip off a section of a small silk flower bunch with wire cutters and tuck into the bow.
Change things up by stamping a message that speaks to you and embodies your home and family. Your family and friends will never know how quick and easy this trendy book stack was to create!
