Start by taking your Dollar tree wooden crate and turning it upside down. The side slats are what makes the crate look like stacked books.  Another great thing about this faux book stack is you can hide unsighlty clutter undereath it. Perfect for hiding away decor that doens’t fit your fall theme.

Paint your crate white (or any other color, cream, red or orange books all look great too)

Whilst your crate is drying, paint your apple with the red paint.

Using adhesive lettering add the titles to your books. You can also use a marker pen if you do not have sticky letters or cut out letters on a cricut design machine.

Do not stick the letters untill the paint is completely dry.

Place a ribbon around the books as shown in the photo and secure with glue and a bow. Add the apple and raffia bow for decoration.
