Want to display books in an artful way? Making this bundle cover with a Paris scene is highly recommended. The tutorial after the link doesn't have a printable of this cute Paris pattern but these images are easy to find. You can even draw your own Paris scene!
Tutorial
Creating your own book bundle is a chic and personalized way to add a touch of Parisian flair to your bookshelf. After tracking down your perfect Paris scene—or sketching one by hand—transfer the image onto sturdy paper that will wrap around your selected books. Use adhesive to secure the scene as a cover, or tie the bundle together with twine for an added rustic feel. This charming display will give off a je ne sais quoi that is certain to spark conversations and inspire wanderlust in any visitor who catches a glimpse.

Lamp Shade

This pretty lamp served as a table number for a wedding. To make your version, you can skip the number. Another way to make a Paris-inspired lamp shade is to use a map of the city. I bet that would be all sorts of pretty.
