Santa's Big Book of Secrets

This past Halloween, my mother-in-law bought the cutest wooden book that said Black Cat Magic on it. I fell in love with it and I wanted it. Bad. But I didn't want to pay $30 for it.  So I decided that I wanted to design a book cover and make one myself.  Well, I never got around to it.  Now with Christmas around the corner, I decided to design a Christmas themed book cover. The best part about it is it only cost me around $7.00.

Here's a list of things you'll need:

*2 cardboard boxes 

(I got mine at Joanns, but I've also seen them at Michaels and Hobby Lobby. The bigger book is $4.99 and the smaller one is $3.99, but with my coupons I spent just under $7.00. And did you know that Joann's takes Michael's coupons? 

*Santa's big book of secrets and reindeer magic printables:

*White Spray paint. 

I used Rust-oleum Painter's Touch in white. The pictures shows Krylon, but the Krylon was too runny and not sticking to the cardboard. 

*Mod Podge and craft brush

*Optional items: Ribbon, glitter, and gel stain

STEP ONE:

Spray paint boxes on sides and edges. No need to do the front and back cover because they'll be covered

STEP 2:

Print off your front and back covers

STEP 3:

Mod podge your print onto your book. Before you mod podge the top of your paper (as shown in the picture) make sure it's completely dry to prevent air bubbles. 

I always try and smooth out any air bubbles by using a credit card.

STEP 4:

Mod podge the top of your book cover. And let it dry completely

STEP 5: (optional)

I outlined some words and dots with mod podge and then put glitter on top of it. I liked the effect it gave. 

STEP 6: 

After it's dry, take some sand paper and sand around the edges of the book.

STEP 7: (optional)

Take some cute ribbon and tie it around the box. This is the glitter I used for step 5. It's the Martha Stewart brand and I got it from Hobby Lobby. Ribbon is from Michael's.

STEP 8:

Sit back and enjoy the fun craft you made!

*Notice: in the first picture I have the gel stain pictured because I thought I would use it to after I mod podged it. I didn't end up using it because I liked the way it looked without it. Feel free to try it out though. Let me know how it goes.
