On a trip to Party City a while back, I picked up this guest book for $15…

Seemed a little plain but I knew I could add a few decorative touches to it. I pulled out some ribbon and got to work. First I carefully peeled back the paper lining the inside cover, then cut 2 pieces of ribbon and glued them on the inside. Then I glued the paper back over the edges of the ribbon. Using the same method I came up with for my card box bow, I created a bow and sewed it directly onto the book. In hindsight, I should have done this before I glued the paper back on because I now have a few not-so-pretty holes inside the cover of the book…
Oh well, maybe I can cover it up with something. And here’s the finished product…
Looks a little nicer with some embellishments!
Did you add your own personal touches to anything that you thought looked a little plain?
