Witch Spells Decor Book

A friend surprised me with this cute Halloween decor and it tickled me so much I’m passing it along.

Now I don’t advocate any of those odd decorating trends with books, from reversing the book spines to wrapping them all in the same solid color paper. I personally don’t mind the different book colors because I want to find my books, that would be more like a mean trick than a decorating option for me.

However, this cute Halloween decor idea made me smile. The book has been spray painted with black matte paint, then lettered with white paint on the front. The orange ribbon was to reflect the gift so I left it on, orange is a good fall color.

This gift is so easy to make I have contemplated buying black paper to cover a book and then adding white letters to the front. Or I should be able to quickly paint the letters on the black paper. That way the original book is preserved for later use and it can easily do double duty for Halloween decor.

Either way, it’s now time to concentrate on some of those witch spells!
