Home: Book Refashion

I don't know about you but I can't stand having anything on my bedside table. Unless that something is a book. I need a way to organise my cables as I usually charge my phone every other night. I got this fabulous hardcover book in my Grandfather's basement. It was actually a gift to my step-mom from her aunt. Well although it was an "Alfred Hitchcock" it was horrible. I guess maybe it was mid-60's "horror",but I didn't understand the fear after reading halfway through. But the cover is beautiful. So after checking to make sure that the book had no value, I crafted it!

I marked out a rectangle on the first page (roughly 1 inch edge around). Then I took an exactoknife and cut out the rectangle on all pages. I must warn you this is so time consuming (luckily I had Lost to keep me company). When the rectangle is cut out you need to Modpodge all the pages together. I started from the bottom but it got all wonky, so I had to start again from the top. Once all are attached to the bottom cover, run Modpodge along the outside of the pages. Let dry for at least 24hours. Fill with your clutter!
