I modified the strategy a bit from Maria, so I'll show you how I went about doing it.
I trimmed up the book covers and laminated them. I had trouble committing to a specific order (I change my mind about things A LOT) so we came up with using clothespins instead of hot glue. This way, I could change out book covers as I please and I was able to change around the covers to match my space.
The first thing I did was hang the ribbon. I put nails in the wall about 5' apart and tied the ribbon to each nail for stability.
You can see a mid-point nail and my beautiful carpet wall here ;)
Here's one end that I tied off.
Next, I added the book covers! I laid them out and used the main colors and shape of the cover to decide where to put them. I wanted my favorites front and center. I used different color ribbon for each book cover and tied bows around the clothes pins.
Love it!
