Halloween Spell Book {part 3}

L.O.V.E. how this book turned out for so many reasons!  Mainly because I was trying to use supplies I already had and didn't know exactly where I was going with it.  Now I have another Halloween prop to contribute to the Halloween Party!



Supplies you'll need:


Thrift Store Book * Brown Paper Bag * Mod Podge



What to do:

Add character to your book spine by adding layers of hot glue



  • Crinkle up the brown paper bag and tear it into pieces
  • Using Mod Podge, cover the book with the crinkled paper bag
  • Glue the front side of the magazine eye (or the flat side of the marble)
  • Attach the front side of the glued image to the flat side of the marble
  • Glue the marble eyes to the front of your book
  • Surround the marble eyes with crinkled brown paper bag to give them a more finished look
  • To create the bloody tears, drip layers of hot glue (blow on them to cool in between layers)
  • Paint the dried {hot} glue with red paint

  3. This is brilliant!! I have had something similar in mind to make this year.. in fact, I already found the 'perfect' book at a thrift store. But I was still mulling ideas around in my head. Now, your wonderful project may have bounced me in a totally new direction. Love it when that happens! Thanks for sharing!!

  13. Found via pinterest thanks! Another idea found on pinterest... red crayon in the hot glue gun instead of glue to skip the painting step (although I haven't tried it.. would that leave red in the glue gun to ruin the next project??).
