With spring weather finally here, it’s a perfect time to grab a book and enjoy some reading outside. Although e-books are convenient and take less space, I still love the experience of a real book. And when you adhere a bookplate inside the cover and tuck a bookmark in the pages, it becomes even more special.
Whether you are sneaking away for some quiet time or sharing a favorite story with young friends, these happy flower companions will bring spring to the pages of your latest read!

Write your family’s name on the plate and use a glue stick to attach it inside the cover of your book. Or, if you’re using self-adhesive sheets, simply peel and stick. This is especially nice if you want to give some bookplates as a gift!
