Personalized Bookplates

The Martha Stewart Show

Martha shows how to make lovely, bird-inspired bookplates.

Personalized Bookplate Craft

Romantic novels, plays, and poetry books are lovely gifts for February 14. Make them even more meaningful with personalized bookplates, inscriptions pasted inside a book to identify its owner.

To create ours, we used stamps mounted on clear acrylic (michaels.com) for easy inking and positioning. Just ink the stamp, and then press it face-down onto an adhesive office label (avery.com). Write a note, and peel and stick the label to the inside cover of a book. Bookplates also make delightful presents on their own.

Favorite Books for Giving

"Pride and Prejudice" by Jane Austen (Everyman's Library)
"The Complete Pelican Shakespeare" (Penguin Classic)
"Poems by John Keats" (Everyman's Library)
