The kiddos and I made grandma a jewelry box from an old book.
I used an exacto knife to cut out the pages leaving a quarter inch on all sides. It is not exact because you are cutting through so many pages, but it turns out just fine.
Once all the pages are cut through, I "painted " on mod podge on the outside pages, while I used a heavy object set on the book to press the pages together. I applied another layer after the first layer dried.
.
We glued buttons over the writing on the front and side cover.
If you want to create a "secret" stash box. The leave it looking like an ordinary book.
The kiddos filled the jewelry box with homemade jewelry.
Grandma loved it!
