Homemade for the Holidays - Secret Treasure Book


This is my favorite non-food, homemade-for-the-holidays gift idea this year.  We love antique books at our house and have found some pretty cool looking books, that we don't necessarily want to read, at thrift stores.  If you have a book lover, antique hound, or someone who likes to keep a stash hidden away, this is a thoughtful, fun gift you can make with very little equipment.  Your most important tool for this project will be a sharp utility knife.

I'm not recreating the wheel here.  So, follow the link below for detailed instructions.  Thanks to the author of the Polish the Stars blog.  She documented how to do this very well.  Go check it out.

COOL! Ben the book-loving banker will thank you. Ssshhh don't tell. (He doesn't check either, either.)
