Looking to add a creative, literary flair to your holiday decorations? Here's how to do it with books. Yes, books.
Introduction
I love celebrating holidays! As a professional handy person, I've crafted more DIY decorations than I can count. At this point, our family has tubs of them ready to roll out at a moment's notice. It's like we're survival preppers, but with twinkling string lights and Santa hats instead of Twinkies and bottled water.
I'm also a book lover. I've always enjoyed having a house full of books, and my collection only got more pronounced when my work started to be published.
So when I learned that I could use some of my book stacks to build a custom holiday decoration, I jumped at the chance!
Building a book Christmas tree is a simple and fun project that can be completed in a single snowy afternoon. It's great for beginners and pros alike, and can involve the whole family. Best of all, it costs nothing more than a little floor space. Even if you don't have enough books, there's always the library!
I made a tree that stands about four-and-a-half feet tall, but we'll also talk about other size options to give your tree some personalized flair.
