DIY Farmhouse Painted Book Stack
I first saw the chalk painted 'farmhouse' inspired stacked books at a craft show this past autumn. I have seen these painted stack books both with the writing on the book spin in either a stamp version as well as a handwritten version.
This past Christmas, I decided to make my own farmhouse-inspired painted book stack as a Christmas gift for my mom. I went with the handwritten option as I didn't have stamps.
It is a pretty simple craft to make.
You will need:
-Chalk Paint {White}
- Paint Brush
-Books {I got mine at the Dollar Store}
-Twine/Ribbon
- Black Marker or Stamps

| Step 1 Buy Your Books |
 |
| Step 2 Rip off front & back covers as well as spin cover |
So, after I went to the Dollar & Store & purchased four books, you have to remove the front, back, & spine cover. Yep, just rip them right off--sorry!
Next, painting time! I painted everything but the books' bottoms. After they dried, I went ahead & added the name's on the spine {write whatever you want!}.

| Step 3 Paint |

| Step 4 Added Text & Twine |
Then, I stacked the farmhouse-inspired books in the order I wanted & added my twine. I did hot glue the twine on the spines--this way, it will stay in place. I also went ahead & added a little gold sprig on top of the books.
That's it, making the farmhouse painted chalk books was pretty simple & added a great little boost to any winter decor.
