I bought a couple of old books at the thrift store to add to my Halloween decorations, but they needed a little altering.
One book's cover was beginning to separate.
Which made it very easy to rip the entire cover off and I didn't have to feel guilty for damaging a book (that's the teacher in me).
I sanded the spine a bit to achieve a more worn look. 
Then wrapped it with jute twine. 
Next I cut and frayed a piece of burlap and used a permanent marker for printing a title. Now I have the perfect addition for my mad scientist's shelf!
I was attracted to the second book because of the cover's textural pattern. I removed the label on front using a little water and a scraper.
A cotton swab and some fingernail polish remover worked for taking off the wording on the spine.
I added a new title using a paint pen and permanent marker.
It's the perfect addition to my Halloween library.
And it looks fantastic on my witchy inspired entry table!
I am humbled to announce that I am
the Friday Feature over at A Little Tipsy.
Thank you Michelle for the opportunity.
It was fun!
