Customizable Decorative 'Book Bricks' with Outdoor Protection Option

The chatter about a user-created 'book brick' (a brick painted to look like a book) shows that people are really into these items for adding a personal touch to their decor, whether it's in the garden or as a plant stand, and they make great gifts too. The original poster emphasized the need for UV sealant if the bricks are going to be used outdoors, and this was echoed by others in the comments. This points to a market for customizable decorative book bricks as unique decor or gift items. You could offer them as a finished product, customized to look like a specific book, with options for indoor or outdoor use with a durable UV-sealed finish. Alternatively, you could sell them as a DIY kit, complete with a brick, paints, markers, and the right sealant. Including an outdoor-grade UV sealant would be a crucial feature for both versions.

Benefit: These would be unique, personalized decorative items for the home or garden, and they'd make thoughtful gifts for book lovers or as an engaging craft project.
