How to make a Hollow Book

If you're anti book desecration you might  not want to read this post. I am a book lover myself, I am a lover of hidden things and hiding things too and craftiness, plus this gave me an excuse to play with knives :D

 

You'll need an ordinary hard cover book. It works with soft 
covers but the over all effect looks better if it's a hard cover.

I Picked this up at a lifeline* $1 book sale.

Using a ruler and a craft knife/scalpel cut away the written bits.

 

I found it turns out better if you do it one page at time,
 so they are all in line other wise you get slippage from 
the book being open (causing the pages to no longer be
 in line.)

Glue all the pages together inside or outside inside looks
 better but either works.

There you have it! It's time consuming but the end result is worth it.
