I've seen a lot of these hollowed out books on this site. I didnt think it looked very hard to do, but I was wrong, lol. I isnt "hard" but it takes a very very long time to make. You have to cut the center out of every page, then glue every page together and let it dry for a day! The hardest part was painting the cover to look like the Hogwarts Textbook. I painted the whole thing red then painted on the gold lettering and scratches in the book. Then I covered it in a few layers of glaze. The pages looked kinda weird because of the glue, so I painted them a tan/parchment color. And I added a piece of felt to the inside of the book, so all the things inside are safe :) I made this for the Harry Potter swap- I hope my partner appreciates all the time I took to make this special book ^_^ Now I want to make another for myself LOL
