Awesome DIY bookends to help you organize your kids books with style!
Organizing kids books has always been a challenge in my house because we love to read, and I can never say no to a good book. Add in our library haul and I need a new solution to keep those books contained. I like to keep our library books separate or else I will inevitably forget to return one (or five) and end up with a fine. But since I never know exactly how many we'll have at any one time, I thought it would be fun to put them on a shelf with bookends, so the space can be flexible. And since I love DIY projects, I've found some crazy awesome DIY bookends that would be perfect for kids' books!
