file this under i’m having a christmas party tonight + want to put up some last-minute decorations. let’s go ahead + say it – this christmas tree of books is not exactly the craftiest of crafts. *however* it is super quick + easy to put together, + makes a cute conversation starter.
1. go to your bookcase
2. grab a bunch of books with green covers in various sizes. (i used six books)
3. open them all about halfway through the book
4. stack open books from largest to smallest
5. add a tree trunk (optional – i used a bronze bookend)
6. add a tree topper (optional – i used a snowflake-shaped ornament)
voila! a cute little christmas tree made out of books to add a little more christmas cheer to your home!

CUTE! as a book lover I have to say this may be one of my favorite ideas
awww, thanks! it was so quick + easy to put together that i felt guilty calling it a ‘craft’ – it’s more like a piling up of open books. =)
i really do think it makes a great conversation starter, though, especially if you throw some interesting books in there. it would also be cute to do one tree in green books, then another of a different height in red books. you should try it!
