 So super cute and easy to do. Here is what I did to make these adorable decorations. You can hang them individually or string them up on a line to make a bunting.


  • Cut illustrations from a vintage children's book to size ( mine are 5" square)
  • Cut one piece of card stock for each illustrations to the same size
  • glue the illustration to the card stock
  • Trim corners with corner punch
  • Add aged look to edges with Tim Holtz Distress Ink
  • Punch hole in top center 
  • Add ribbon for hanging  








Available in my ETSY shop. If you want me to make you some with your own books, just contact me for a custom order through my ETSY shop.

Vintage Christmas Decorations

Vintage Christmas Book Re-purposed into Christmas Decor

I know it's a little early for Christmas. But when you have a retail shop you have to think early. I've turned a vintage children's book into Christmas cards that you can use as a decoration, gift tag, ornament...or even write on the back and send it as a card. I just love the retro look of these illustrations.

My foyer is going to be a Neutral, Blue and Silver Christmas this year.
No time like the present to get started.

I cut each illustrations to it's best fit. 
The I adhered it to a kraft brown card stock.
I rounded the corners with a corner punch.
Next I added some stamps and "aged" the edges with Tim Holtz Distress ink.
And last, but not least, I told them how much I loved them!

Aren't they beautiful!


Here are the other ones I made. They are all available for purchase in my other ESTY shop.





Dig out your old, unused books and get to cracking on your Christmas Decor.
