Stamped Vintage Book Stacks
"Create a lovely piece of home decor with an inspirational message. These stamped book stacks are so easy to make. All you need are some old books, letter stamps and an ink pad. You can embellish the book stack any way you like and that fits your home decor. Books are cheap to find at any thrift store, but you might have some old paperbacks lying around. It is best to use clear stamps and a clear stamp pad so you can get the lettering right. But perfection is not needed here. "
