Color Pop Book-Ends


Fun-filled and color-filled alphabet bookends.


If you love to read and you love to have fun, then your room requires a set of these super cool and colorful customized book-ends. We made this set for a dear friend so that she could gift them to her adorable nieces.

Personalization is really simple to do on bookends. The two L's serve as the perfect base to make elevated designs. For this one, we made alphabet cut-outs and funked it up with a bright yellow color and even more colorful felt

Technically, all we need to make sure is that the brackets on which the books will fall on are strong enough to hold the books.

Place these quirky pieces of book-ends on your study; and we guarantee books would never be mundane anymore.

Inspired by the book-ends which we earlier made (book-ends for the bride & groom), one of our avid followers liked the design so much, that she asked us to make another similar kind to be given as a wedding gift.

But, this time we added a bit more of multi-purposing to our décor piece.

We designed an elegant personalized book-end as a wedding gift. The initial alphabets (in hindi) of the couple were carved out hollow in the 2 wooden blocks of the book-ends.

For the multi-purposing bit, we made the book-ends double as a candle-holder to infuse more elegance in the product. When lit, the hollow alphabets glow beautifully.

Book-ends for the Bride & Groom

Alphabets & figures: customized book-ends  made as a wedding gift.


Its December time… and its wedding time! My wife’s very close friend Richa from Dubai recently got married in Delhi to this guy from Australia named Akshit: quite a global get-together I say!

For this special occasion of theirs we wanted to make a really special gift! Knowing that both of them were very fond of reading, we made for them book-ends in a personalized fashion.

We loved their wedding card, which had these cute-little cartoonish figures of the bride & groom. And that became our source of inspiration – to use those figures as a part of our creation.

The wedding card was our inspiration
Now, to make a book-end is a rather simple process. All we need to do is get 4 blocks of wood and join two of them in an L-shape (make 2 of these), so as to make the book rests on the standing block and the sleeping one becomes the base. Once the structure is ready, we can play around to make any design to match any concept and to personalize it the way we want.

We got the bride & groom figures printed on wood and made them stand on either of the book-end -block. In order to give a backdrop, in wood we carved out their name’s 1st alphabet (A & R) - we did this in the Hindi typography so as to give a more intricate & beautiful design.

The wood blocks were polished a nice dark brown and the alphabets we painted them gold: to give that rich wedding feel and to complement our standing bride & groom.

Our book-ends turned out to look super cute & creative! With the figures of the bride & groom and with their associated alphabets, it was a double scoop of personalization. The couple totally loved it. And that gave us a double scoop of happiness.


A little personalization goes a long way!
