A darling DIY Mini Book Garland is a sweet decoration that's perfect for a Book Themed Baby Shower, a book club get together, birthday party and more! Mini composition books get a quick coat of paint in the party colors, then the alphabet letters get stenciled on the front and hung on matching twine. This cute party decoration will be a hit at your next party and is so easy to customize for any occasion!
Open each mini composition book that you'd like to use and place flat on a paintable surface outdoors. You'll want the book open so that the front and back covers are both showing.
Use various shades of green and blue spray paint to paint the covers of each mini composition book. Let dry completely. Depending on the colors you use, a second coat of spray paint might be necessary.
Dip a foam brush into white paint then dab off some of the excess. Apply the paint to the stencil opening by dabbing the brush up and down. Remove the stencil and let the paint dry.
Hang each composition book onto a strand of baker's twine by opening up the book in the middle and placing it onto the twine so that the letters are facing the right way.
Hang this DIY Mini Book Garland at a Book Themed Baby Shower with a piece of tape on each end or with Command® hooks. It makes for a great conversation piece and is a simple way to add more color to your party!
