We have a slight obsession for books and old book stores (happened after we said adios to the TV). So this year we decided to bring our love of books to a whole new level by making a Christmas tree from them. I saw the idea on Facebook, and knew it was perfect for our home. So one hour after showing my husband the picture, he got to work creating our own Christmas tree of literacy.
80 plus books later, we had our own cozy Christmas corner and didn’t spend a dime.
If you are interested in touring our home, you can do that here. Almost everything in our home is second-hand— including furniture, toys and home decor.
TIP: We used LED lights that I bought last year at Ace Hardware. They do not get hot, which makes them a great solution for stringing christmas bulbs around all this paper. I would definitely recommend turning the lights off when you are not home— you can never be too safe, right?

Genius!!! It’s the PERFECT tree for a bibliophile!
How fun! But I have this feeling if I tried this, my tree wouldn’t quite turn out the same
Wow-wow-wow! So amazing idea!
This is totally wonderful – I’m pinning it and keeping it in mind for next year!
Love this! We are book addicts, as well! Think I need to share this on my FB page!
Awesome. Will definitely be doing this next year.
