$3 Thursday -PB Inspired Book Bundle - Stamped with Love

I love the stacked book bundle that PB is selling but seriously $39 for 4 "authentic vintage books"??   Who are they kidding?
Four books and a piece of twine for $39?
You can check ‘theirs’ out here.
And mine below.
I only used three books but I like them a lot better than the $39 version. :)

I started with a few old encyclopedias, tore the covers off and decorated them.

A few crepe paper rolled flower, some stamps and a ribbon.

I stamped on the binding as well as the top book.

I tried the make the rolled crepe paper flowers are thick as I could.  These are almost an inch high.

I think the love book bundle looks perfect on my Valentine display.

Anyone willing to pay me $39 for a stack of ‘Hand Stamped and Decorated Authentic Vintage Book Bundle’?
Heck, I’ll even throw in free shipping.

Anyone, anyone?  Ask nice and I might even give you a discount….

Total cost:  $0
I had all the supplies on hand, most for years except the crepe paper that I purchased after Christmas for pennies a roll.  I used only a fraction of the roll, probably not even a cents worth.
