Jane Austen Nesting Paper Mache Books

I decided to pair up some of my favorite things, Jane Austen novels and paper crafting:

I started off with paper mache book boxes purchased from Hobby Lobby.  I then covered each book with coordinating designer paper and embellishments.  All the graphics were cut from various Cricut cartridges and then I modge podged the outside for durability.  I then added the misc. embellishments  and nested the books within each other.  For my final step, I wrapped the books in an antique ribbon with baubles.
