Book Trees
This book tree from National Bookstore is huge and amazing. The inclusion of snowpeople, garlands, and flowers is what makes it so eye-catching!
A post shared by National Book Store (@nationalbookstore) on Nov 29, 2018 at 8:58pm PST I also love this smaller, slightly different take on a book tree because it’s something you can easily make at home, even in a small space. As long as you don’t mind sacrificing a few hardcovers. I love the use of twinkle lights!

Bookstore And Library Displays
Romance bookstore The Ripped Bodice in Los Angeles always has wonderful window displays. This year, they’ve created an entire fireplace and chimney from books!

Bookish Holiday Crafts
How adorable is this book ornament? It looks like little hearts cut from the pages of a book. I want it. (P.S. If you do, too, it’s available on Etsy along with lots of other lovely book ornaments from the same seller.)
A post shared by Upcycled Library • H🐺A (@upcycledlibrary) on Nov 26, 2018 at 9:15am PST I ALSO love these wee little ornaments crafted out of books—they look like presents! Good news, they are also for sale on Etsy.
Perhaps you’re crafty enough to make a wreath out of pages from a book? https://www.instagram.com/p/BpC4kMMFihD/ There is also the option of decorating with books—as in literally hanging up teeny tiny books—which I am 100% in favor of. https://www.instagram.com/p/BnwwSYpn16e/ Or perhaps sending a nice holiday message through a book? This is made by folding pages.
A post shared by Andover Public Library (@andoverlibraryohio) on Nov 26, 2018 at 6:24pm PST If you’re going to create your own folded message, might I suggest “Happy Bookmas”? And find more tips for decorating with books for the holiday season right here.
