Is it just me? Did I watch to much TV as a kid or is this totally awesome? Or maybe it's the fact that I absolutely love the film 'Shawshank Redemption'. I really wanted to make one of these for my son Liam, who is 7. It reminds me of secret diaries, and the joys of having your own little secrets as a kid.
I googled and found this tutorial http://how2dostuff.blogspot.com.au/2006/02/how-to-make-secret-hollow-book.html. But let me just say that this is hard work, and my fingers have developed a few extra callouses. It has ended up looking a little rough, but after a couple of hours working on it I had had enough. Still, it seems a fitting end to my dictionary craft week which has been a lot of fun.
Pictures below of me gluing the outside first, then cutting out the pages, and finally, storing some little man loot.
