It’s summer, which means blue skies, bright-colored clothing, and all the freshest fruit recipes. It also means that a good majority of the world in which we live are traveling to exciting places, and as a book lover, there are no better areas to visit than the settings of some of the most-read classics. Invaluable created a map of every travel-enthused bibliophile’s dream: the most-used global locations in literature based on title and author recognition. From the English countryside to the bustling streets of New York City, plan a trip to see some of the landmarks that inspire your favorite books and use the map as a guide and inspiration for your next travels. While I was reading through Invaluable’s The Best Literary Settings in Classic Literature article I was inspired to create another bookish inspired craft project using paper mache letters.

Here’s an easy DIY project that’ll add some flare to your bookshelf. This bookish light box is perfect for any bibliophile and will add a whimsical glow to any room. Make one for yourself or give it as a gift. The supplies for this project are easy to find. So you can pick up what you’ll need at your local craft supply store. It won’t take days to build because it doesn’t need any fancy tools or measuring. So pick out your favorite bookish quote and light up your bookshelf with this stylish bookish light box.
