Love books or know someone who does? Readers are a special sort of person, and one of our favorites. When it comes to gift giving for readers, though, I do not always have the best ideas, though. Last Christmas, when I was wanting to make something special for my friend who loves nothing as much as reading, I went looking for ideas. Turns out, Pinterest has hundreds of cool projects for readers. Since I could not make them all, I decided to make a list to keep for next time. To be honest, I also want quite a few of these myself! What fun to make these creative and cool DIY projects for readers. Enjoy!

Since I lover experiments, I’ve alwaysnloved to create, paint, as well as cook and style food. I feel in love with DIY as soon as I discovered it and could not have been more excited when I learned I could share projects with people around the world. Taking photos is a passion of mine, as is design and painting with oils. I love holidays and celebrations, crafting cute little gifts and serving up at least one new recipe I am excited about.
