Hide your secrets goods in your books!



This is awesome if you actually want to hide something from your parents? :P I'm not corrupting you or anything  :D but its actually convenient to store or hide something. This depends on the book size of what you want to store in it. I won't talk much, but I'll get straight back to how to make this..

This is a basic idea again. As much as I say, you need to be creative. So make sure you make some modifications to this and make something totally new! :)


Here's what you need :


-A Thick Book you don't use.

- Siccors, Glue. (Multibond? :P )
-Knife or cutting machine(A small one preferably) , Pen or Pencil, Ruler.

What you have to do :


1) Firstly, Get the Thick Book you got & open the Book Cover. (I got myself an old dictionary book). Make sure the book cover is very thick. If its not, then Glue a several pages on together to the cover so it'll become thicker. That is if you want to directly open the book to store your items.


If you want to hide something & make sure it looks exactly like a book, then glue a stack of pages together until you reach a little to the start of the middle. The cover & a few pages will remain before the glueing.


2)Next, get the start of the middle of the book, & get the pen or pencil & mark a square or any type of shape on top of the page where you want to cut to store your items inside. 




3) Get the knife or any cutting machine & cut line through the marked lines of what you want to cut. I got mine a Rectangle, So I kept cutting the line on top each time so that it'll cut properly the lines. Note that, I cut line on top of each cut because there's so many pages in the book & to cut so many pages all together is hard. I used the knife since its easier than the scissor. 


Cut the pages till the thickness you want is discovered. Make sure you have atleast 20 remaining pages at the end of the book after the pages you've cut to make a  flat surface for the stored items to be on. Make sure you paste atleast 4 pages of this onto the end cover, So that the binding of the book will not be separated from the cover.


4) After its all cut, neaten the cut lines with the knife or scissor. Then glue the pages together using the glue we used before.




Ends up like this,



Don't put much accessories onto this if you want it to be a secret book where you can lock away your items in a secret place :P but if you prefer, you can do this to make it look nicer. :)

Enjoy making yours!
